A '''Flashbang Grenade''' (also called a '''stun grenade''') is a special type of [[grenade]] used by the [[UNSC]]. Unlike [[Fragmentation Grenades]], these grenades are not intended for lethal use. Flashbangs use chemical reactions to produce an extremely bright flash of light and a very loud concussion blast when deployed, stunning targets, but doing very little physical damage to them. The primary purpose of a stun grenade is to temporarily blind and deafen the enemy. If the victim directly observes the flash, a still frame of what is observed by the victim will be seen for up to ten seconds, at which point their eyes will have returned to their unstimulated state. | A '''Flashbang Grenade''' (also called a '''stun grenade''') is a special type of [[grenade]] used by the [[UNSC]].

Due to widespread usage within 21st Century armed forces, it has likely been used since the UNSC's conception, though the earliest recorded use of it was [[2531]], as seen by its use in [[Halo Wars|''Halo Wars'']]. The Flashbang and Stun Grenades' use in combat scenarios has not be overlooked, serving to confuse, disorient, or momentarily distract a potential threat for five to ten seconds. | Due to widespread usage within 21st Century armed forces, it has likely been used since before the UNSC's conception, though the earliest recorded use of it was [[2531]], as seen by its use in [[Halo Wars|''Halo Wars'']].
