Your still breathing in the air you need to survive while in a cloud like this, its just now your also breathing in tons of unhealthy particles, so two situations could occur:

Spend hours in the cloud and maybe become lightheaded and pass out

Spend hours in the cloud and develop a lung issue 20 years later

Spray a can of paint into your mouth/eyes/nose and tell me if you'd be all fine and dandy for more than 10 minutes

No thanks, i worked in a spray booth for 3 years, was a nightmare.

Even with that in mind though, whats occuring ingame is not the paint being sprayed from the nossle directly down peoples throat, or right into their eyes, once the can is around 6 inches away from its intended target its no longer hugely effective at getting paint on a specific point, it just fans out and to get the kind of coverage you would want you would need repeated, targeted passes over it.

Ingame 3 cans are thrown at the ground, and they spray all their paint rapidly, in effect they are doing this:





It's not very effective even if you account for it only being one can at a time, the "smoke" they produce would last seconds as the paint itself is to heavy to float for long and it  rapidly solidifies falling to the ground, all your left with very quickly is the chemical mixture to light to fall floating in the air, which is clear.



(3 cans at once, still not effective)

I wasn't aware spray cans also removed stamina, to be honest this needs to be changed to actual homemade smoke grenades, AND have their stamina/oxygen drain removed.
I haven't tinkered with paintbombs but am interested in ensuring that they work.  I understand that you craft it and that you use it on a stack of money to fool a robber, but I dunno if it's reuseable nor exactly how it works.  Could someone explain those few parts I don't understand?  I'm trying to find time to get on and test them personally, but newborn.

They are a one time use item that last about as much time as the average grenade. It can be set on a timer for detonation. They require scrap electronics to make one, so they are not worth it compared to alternates. They create a smoke screen and drain stamina and oxygen.
