A three-dimensional model of a canister of tear gas, typically fired like a grenade from launchers attached to police weapons. The canister is cylindrical and painted bright blue with a label that gives its model name and manufacturer, "Mighty Midget Continuous Discharge Grenade (CS)" and "Smith & Wesson Chemical Co., Inc." respectively. A circular, silver keyring is attached to a pin at the top of canister; the ring allows the pin to be pulled out with ease, which is a required step in the grenade's proper usage. The model can be moved, rotated, and zoomed in and out, allowing the viewer to examine the object's details from multiple angles.
