Also called stun grenades — these are a less-than-lethal device used in a wide variety of law enforcement and military operations. Like a grenade, the device is activated by pulling a pin. When thrown, the flash-bang creates a loud sound and bright flash of light to temporarily distract or disorient an adversary. Flashbangs are used in operations such as hostage rescue, room-clearing, crowd control and other specialized operations. Personnel will typically break down a door or smash a window of a building and toss in the diversionary device as part of a forced entry. You can use flashbangs to stun and disorientate AI as well as human players. In general the fuse delay is VERY short, ~ 1.5 seconds. Make sure the flashbang is well-placed to avoid stunning yourself and your teammates.
