Flash-bang grenade

A scout trooper with a Flash-bang grenade.

A flash-bang grenade, also known as flash bomb, was a weapon that, when thrown, blinded and deafened the target rather than harming them, allowing the user to either attack or flee. Most modern versions disrupted the senses of both organics and in-organics such as droids. Clone commandos used these weapons to great advantage during the Clone Wars.

Behind the scenes

This grenade should not be confused with the concussion grenade.

Flashbangs, or "stun grenades" are a real non-lethal weapon, famously used by the British Special Air Service (SAS).
