Very sad news, Robert Duvall has passed away. My only connection to him is in 2022, he read a script I had worked on and liked it.

Tear gas grenades are often up to 800 deg C (not F) and well beyond the ability of gloves to protect you. It’s unethical to tell people to pick them up and much of the time a glove makes injuries worse. Smoke grenades are nearly as hot much of the time
