Getting tear gased...

Just went back and looked at this and realized you had 2 other questions. Does it hurt? Not really, its more of a discomfort than a hurt. Its not like an "OW my foot" its more a coughing watery eyed discomfort, like I mentioned before. As for how long it lasts, its less than 10 minutes after you get out of the chamber and you're back to 100% better. I didn't puke, and no one in my division did either when I went through, but some people do. On average its maybe 1 or 2 in a division MAX. Really, those who do puke its more of a mental thing than a physical thing. They get freaked out and that is the result, not the gas on their system. Best advice is to just keep calm, act and breathe normal and just do it (like nike). Its not all that bad, just go in there and keep in mind you're basically bringing your body on a roller coaster ride of sorts. In the end you'll look back on it, laugh, smile, and end up saying it was fun. Don't work yourself up, that really is the key to it.
