Key Specifications |

|
Ammunition Type: |
40mm, standard for many tactical launchers. |

|
Caliber: |
The "5P" designation indicates that this specific shell contains 5 projectiles. |

The "CS" stands for 2-chlorobenzylidene malononitrile, commonly known as tear gas. |
|
|
Sub-Munitions: |
Upon being fired from a 40mm launcher (like an M203 or M79), the cartridge ejects multiple sub-canisters. These canisters land in different spots to cover a wider area and minimize the risk of being thrown back by protesters. |

The CS gas causes severe irritation to the eyes, upper respiratory tract, and skin, leading to temporary incapacitation through coughing, tearing, and stinging sensations. |
