Flashbang
A stun grenade (also known as a flashbang) is a small explosive device that, when thrown, emits a large flash of light and a very loud bang that temporarily blinds and deafens those affected in the vicinity. They are commonly used by military and special police forces in house clearing and surgical raids.
The M84 Flashbang is currently the standard issue stun grenade of the United States Military. Upon detonation, it emits an intensely loud "bang" of 170–180 decibels and a blinding flash of more than one million candela within five feet of initiation, sufficient to cause immediate flash blindness, deafness, tinnitus, and inner ear disturbance. Exposed personnel experience disorientation, confusion and loss of coordination and balance. While these effects are all intended to be temporary, there is risk of permanent injury or even death. Consequently, the M84 is classified as a Less-lethal weapon.
The stun grenade is featured in several games of the Ryanverse.
Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six
The Flashbang is a non-lethal grenade featured in Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six.
Capable of stunning observers with a combination bright flash and loud report, flashbangs are commonly tossed into rooms to 'prepare' rooms prior to entry. The valuable seconds gained while potential hostiles recover from the stun effects can mean the difference between life and death to a tactical team. Also known as distraction devices or stun grenades.

The flashbang hand grenade emits a loud sound and bright flash. Together these effects stun a person for a couple of seconds without doing any permanent damage. This makes the flashbang an ideal item to toss into a room just before entering it.
