Flash bomb should redirect here

Colloquially, flash bomb refers to the grenades described in this article, and not a photo flash bomb dropped by a surveillance plane to light up the target for photography. Never even heard of a "photoflash bomb". Anyways, at the very least, there should be a disambiguation page, since in the age of tear gas an flash bombs at major demonstrations, this is an article many will be looking for.192.171.38.70 (talk) 02:22, 3 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

No permanent damage

According to OSHA, any noise including one time impact noise above 120dB causes hearing loss so the statement "without causing permanent damage" is incorrect. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 165.206.45.148 (talk) 15:17, 12 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hazards of stun grenades

The sentence “On 26 October 2014 Rémi Fraisse …. in Sivens Dam”is, at the least, ambiguous. It is certainly odd and repetitious. The article on Mr. Fraisse begins with it, word for word. One problem is the word “after,” which suggests that Mr. Fraisse set off the grenade and was then killed by the police. I suggest this alternative wording: On 26 October 2014, Rémi Fraisse, a 21-year-old French botanist demonstrating for nature conservation in Lisle-sur-Tarn, France[21], was killed[22] by the explosion of a flashbang grenade[24] set off by the French police[23].

Are you sure that a "thunderflash" is one of the names?

I have a feeling that a thunderflash is actually just a pyrotechnic, and not something used to stun. If someone in a particular country is using that term, then it may be in error. I am aware that they are often used in exercises just to emulate some kind of explosion. I think they are often used in basic training (boot-camp).

You may wish to double check that, and maybe modify the article.--Hypernator (talk) 10:40, 1 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

In the UK, we used to use thunderflashes in cadet training when i was a teenager. A waxed cardboard cylinder with some kind of fuse activated by a striker. [1] They were (and, I believe, still are) used to simulated artillery fire and grenades when on exercise. They are definitely not stun grenades: you only had to keep about six yards away from them. It looks like you can buy them pretty much anywhere now. A quick google will find you suppliers for paintballing. 151.170.240.200 (talk) 09:09, 23 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
