So here are my questions about flash bangs:
1) Can flash bangs damage you long time? How?
2) What's the difference between flash bangs and a stun grenade?
3) What happens after you are flashed?
4) How long do those effects last?
5) Can the flash bang be lethal?
6) How much does a flash bang unit cost?

Thanks
Mason
 
Flash bangs are distraction devices that explode making a load bang and a really bright light. Anyone near a flash bang will temporarily lose their vision. It does not last long and depends on the person and if they were looking directly at the unit when it exploded. The main purpose of these is to distract people (i.e. scare them). It is possible to be hurt by these things but not common, especially if properly deployed. There is video of a tactical officer that has one of these go off in his pocket, he suffered minor burns and probably wet himself but no serious injuries. Stun grenades is the name the media uses for flash bangs. As usual the media gives dramatic names to things out of misunderstanding and sensationalism.
