concussion grenade

Non-lethal blast weapon

A concussion grenade is a type of explosive device designed to incapacitate through the force of its blast rather than through shrapnel.

Unlike fragmentation grenades, which scatter metal fragments, concussion grenades produce a powerful shockwave that can stun, disorient, or kill at close range while minimizing collateral damage from flying debris.

They are used in situations where fragmentation would be too dangerous, such as clearing enclosed spaces.
