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 surprise and confusion can provide a strategic advantage. Stun grenades are typically used by SWAT teams and military units during hostage rescues or raids. They are designed to minimize casualties while maximizing the element of surprise. While they are effective for disorientation, proper training is essential to ensure safe and effective use.
