Sarin Gas

Sarin became “known” when it was used during a domestic terrorist attack in Tokyo in 1995 which killed 13 people and hurt many more.

CS gas canister – Bahrain – Bah6

This is quite a familiar canister type for Bahrain. Photo by Al Jazeera via @CarlosLatuff via @Catherina_News

No visible ID other than Made in Brazil, (and that it is not yet expired, contrasting lot of canisters used in Egypt)

Though, the logo (and article) indicates it is made by  Condor Technologies.

Probably this one, Condor – Non-lethal technologies

CS canister – Palestine – Pal1

This grenade-like suspected tear gas canister was thrown directly at a protester in Palestine. Photo via @dalsaafin via @Catherina_News

This does not display any ID, but its morphology points in direction of something like this – by less lethal.
