I wouldnt mind a couple, how much do they cost?
Looks to be $14.50 for em. I used to play milsim before getting into target shooting and we used the smoke grenades. Actually quite impressive. Still… would rater carry an extra mag than one of these if SHTF.

The web site shows them at about £10 plus another £9 VAT. Also not sure you could import them legally. But they look fun / useful.

I added a US supplier link as well, they’re 30 bucks a pop. I think these things would come in handy during hd/cqb situations.

as with all distraction devices if you the thrower are not shielded (wall, cover or distance) you stand a very good chance of being distracted as well as the target. So in a defensive roll in a home might not be such a good idea and in theory CQB should never exist for CCW/home defense because now you are offensive and could be considered performing as a vigilante action. Now if you throw it and in the confusion of the smoke, flash and concussion ran away or used a exterior means of escape sure.

Cherry bombs from the local fireworks store are cheaper.
But you will need to keep a stogie going to light the fuses.

When I was a kid, we made our own.
Cheaper and much louder than even the store bought ones back then.

only flash bang for me happens the moment I pull the trigger.

Curiosity got the best of me and I had to pull this thread out of the cobwebs.
As far as the flash bangs, I was a bit unimpressed with that one. Maybe they are more effective in person than from the camera’s vantage point? Maybe I am thinking of what I see in the movies and it’s something different. A stun grenade??

They work quite well on a surprised target and where/when the thrower is shielded from the flash/bang. In actual fact most real grenades (flash/bang, concussion or fragmentation) or quite under whelming in real life when you consider the average black powder rifle (or about double a shotgun shell) has more charge.

So this thing isn’t necessarily to screw up someone using night vision. It’s just to scare them?

it might if it happened to land on the person - modern NV goggles have anti-bloom and other protection systems plus a short duration flash would not do much, however to someone in the dark / low light / confined space and without NV devices the flash bang would blind / deafen them. Just think of the last time someone used a camera flash and you were not expecting it.

OK, so I am going to assume if I am being raided by a bunch of government thugs wearing night vision, I need to throw on some flood lights around the perimeter of the house facing out, forcing them to remove the night vision goggles and also messing up their eyes natural night vision.

LOL!!!
From the video: “Was almost like a rifle shot”…
Yeah, a .22 short. Sorry to bust mr milsims bubble but anything actually loud and bright enough to cause disorientation, as real flash bangs do, would be considered a DD by ATF in the US and certainly not for sale to her majesties subjects across the pond. A little ingenuity, the fuse from a ‘dummy grenade’ available at any gunshow and you could build an EFFECTIVE flash bang…Just not legally.

There are some small airsoft “flashbangs” that use the small CO2 cartridges that are used in some air pistols. They don’t produce any flash, but are supposed to produce a decent bang, and there are some modifications people have worked out to make them louder (by letting the CO2 our of the cartridge faster). As I recall, they can be found on amazon.
Edit: I couldn’t find any with a quick search on amazon, but I did find them on another site:
