A stun grenade, also known as a flashbang, is a non-lethal explosive device designed to temporarily disorient individuals. When detonated, it produces a blinding flash of light and a loud bang, which can impair vision and hearing for several seconds. This makes it useful in tactical situations, such as law enforcement operations or military engagements, where incapacitating a target without causing permanent harm is essential. Stun grenades are commonly used by SWAT teams and military units during raids or hostage rescue missions. They are typically thrown into a room or area before entry, allowing operators to gain the element of surprise. While effective, their use requires careful consideration to avoid unintended consequences, such as injury to bystanders.
