Stun Grenades

World of Darkness - Armory

Stun grenades, sometimes referred to as “flashbangs,” are not designed to do serious bodily harm. Instead, they are used to disorient, distract or incapacitate targets. When detonated, a stun grenade gives off a blinding light and deafening loud bang but produces no fragments. Stun grenades are commonly used in assault entries, and SWAT and counter-terrorist teams train to enter a room and neutralize targets as soon as the flashbangs go off. A stun grenade typically has a very short fuse, and, if the “Alternate Grenade” rules above are in use, detonates on the Initiative after the grenade’s handle is released. Examples: Chinese JYS-1 and JYB-1, American T470 and M84, French ALSETEX
