  1. Does CS gas act realistically and fill up a room, or will it be a still cloud?

2.If a CS gas canister is thrown/shot into a room with a suspect, will there be a chance for the suspect to leave the room to escape the gas? Or will the suspect simply become impaired where they were standing, requiring officers to move in to make an arrest?

  1. How is the effect of CS gas on Friendly officers being handled? Are gas masks cosmetic only? Will gas only effect the thrower or the whole team?

Gas doesn't affect immediately, rather, targets have to be exposed in it for some time and the effect has to build up on them. It's the same with players and officers too. Your screen will slowly get a smoke effect and then you are affected by the gas. It doesn't instantly debilitate you like SWAT4 does. Gas masks are not cosmetic only and prevent the effects of CS gas and pepper spray.

I'll defer to /u/gruntr on the visuals since he can talk better about what goes into that than I can.
