So they're hanging out grouped together in a fog that theyre the source of. So they're easy to find and wont be able to see you well from a distance.

This is also true. I don't mean to give them any credit for intelligence. I just figure with their bottomless budget, they almost certainly have a bunch of protective gear that's just been sitting around that they'd be itching to finally get to use if this were truly a chemical weapon scenario.

If they were thinking even a bit they would wear that protective gear whenever clouded im any gas, inert or not. Cause otherwise people will catch on to when a smoke screen works both ways and generally to the advantage of people who arent clumped togerher inside of it. If you throw shit at the cloud, youll probably hit someone eventuality and they can't see for shit on the inside of it.

It's like doing a non lethal boss battle in peace walker. You huck smoke grenades at the enemies who are all clumped together and then run in, cqc and Fulton em and then take the vehicle. You dont drop it by your own feet and hang around in the cloud. This is the opposite of how to use this kind of thinf

Yeah but in MGSV you chuck it into the back of a jeep and then drive around completely invisible to everyone as you spread smoke everywhere.

You are driving ahead of the smoke tho, they gotta do that
