flashbangs

Tactical disorientation devices

Flashbangs are grenades designed to disorient rather than kill, producing an intense burst of light and deafening sound upon detonation.

Law enforcement and military units deploy them during raids and hostage situations to temporarily blind and stun occupants, creating a tactical advantage.

The effect lasts only seconds but is profoundly disabling.

The SWAT team tossed flashbangs through the windows before entering.
