Flash-bang grenades were an upgrade developed at the USA Barracks for rangers.
Once purchased, it allows rangers to switch from using a rifle, to using flash-bang grenades. They are highly effective against groups of infantry, and a single grenade can clear out a garrisoned building. They do not do any damage against vehicle or structures. As a standoff weapon, it reaches further but travels slower than gunfire, arcing towards its target.
In real life flash-bang grenade is a less-lethal grenade that emits a high intensity light to temporarily blind and disorient the enemy. Its main use is for assaulting fortified structures as it can blind and deafen defenders. To flush out infantry out of garrison, a combination with CS grenade or WP is preferable. A grenade launcher version is available.
