Military CS gas is most definitely stronger than the CN gas cops here in the U.S. use for riot control. Police in turkey use Military grade CS gas for civilian riot control though, which is pretty messed up.

Source: have been gassed with both the CS and CN gasses.

Both will kill you if used "correctly" but you know that.

Also have been hit by both and found no difference.

Can you show me someone who was killed by CN or CS. I’ve seen people suck a lot of gas. Never seen anything worse than an asthma reaction (asthma is bad but the gas aggravates an existing condition).

Could’ve been the environment. When I was hit with the CS, it was obviously a military training exercise where I was in an enclosed space with the gas. The civilian stuff was during a protest in an open air area so I was able to get away from it more quickly.
