Ah well, they do say "fools rush in"...  |
Flashbangs can be pretty nasty things, there was a news article here in victoria a few years back after a training accident during a joint JTF2/RCMP exercise where a flashbang went off prematurely and damn near blew off the soldiers arm. IIRC the flash of a flashbang is burning magnesium and therefore not something you want going off near you.
