Nah the M14 did better in test two

The trick to using flashbangs effectively is to do the operation at night, cut the power, give the enemy a moment for their eyes to adjust to the darkness, and then deploy the flashbangs. The enemy's eyes are dilated in the dark and the blinding effect works better, the noise and the overpressure affects their balance and disorients them further. It can be a game changer, putting you seconds ahead of the enemy and disrupting their OODA loop long enough for you to gain control of the situation and end the confrontation.

Watch the video again. It makes a "bang" right when he throws it, which would draw the person's attention right to you. It shouldn't make any sound for several seconds, allowing you to throw it in one direction quietly to draw the target's attention in that direction.

@jhutch1470

@@chrisferro9809 That was the fuse igniting.

I think it always comes down to money. How much do they cost vs what you expect from the overall outcome. I agree with you on the 4 banger being better than one from a militaristic point of view. When we’re trained on flag bangs, you normally know what to expect when one is sent in your direction and you know how to react fast, BUT, if you think that one bang is it and you go back to kill position and that one bang turns into several, that would throw you off a little. Good comparison, good job! Charlie Mike!

Maybe the camera audio didn't do a good job on the flash bangs, but in the video the sound of the fuse igniting was just as loud as the "bang" -- also, maybe I can't count, but I only counted three bangs on the multi-bang grenade (unless you count the bang from the fuse igniting)

You can hear an initial "report" once the handle is released, (caused by fuse ignition?) which eliminates the stealth advantage, making these devices much less effective.

I like the L.I.O.N. blank firing device / flashbang from Pamax tactical. First it is re-usable with Blanks or Primers, and has variable power from 100 DB to 130DB's with B12 mini shotgun blanks which is some of the loudest you can get as a Civilian. Though That is still nothing compared to LEO version of 180 DB with a full size shotgun blank. Funny how those are legal in the UK but not here.
