The '''Flash-Bang Grenade''' or '''Stun grenade''' is a special type of [[grenade]] used by the [[UNSC]]. Unlike [[Fragmentation Grenades]], these grenades are not necessarily lethal. They produce an extremely bright flash of light and a very loud noise when they go off, stunning targets, but doing very little physical damage to them. They are good to flush out or stun enemies. | The '''Flash-Bang Grenade''' or '''Stun grenade''' is a special type of [[grenade]] used by the [[UNSC]].

There are a variety of uses for these. They have been used in military exercises by the UNSC, at least since [[2525]]. They are also occasionally used in combat as well, serving to confuse, disorient, or momentarily distract a potential threat for five to ten seconds. Although a flash-bang can seriously degrade the combat effectiveness of affected personnel for up to a minute, they are still vital in any hit-and-run operation. | There are a variety of uses for these.
