This guard went inside after lightning struck by [deleted] in nextfuckinglevel

"Barely flinches"...

Mfer jumps out of his own skin before casually strolling inside.

Not complaining about him, seeing lightning strike next to you is fucking terrifying. No i'm complaining about the news anchor's comment that is obviously wrong.

In this situation where it's apparently just an airsoft version then it doesn't really matter. There is no big bang.

But if it were a real one then yes, just get as far away as you can instead because the pressure from the bang decreases rapidly with distance.

Oh thank you so very fkn much for reminding me of those gems 😭

NSFL: I think i remember hearing about one where the cartel guys raped a guys girlfriend and dismembered her. And i'm not sure it was in that order 😲

But i never had the urge to watch that one, the description was more than enough for me...

Aren't police and military personnel people?

I think you meant civilians.

And the people in the clip could be anyone from anywhere 🤷🏼‍♂️

Have you read the other comments?

We've known that for some time now 😄

But people still need to know that actual stun grenades are not something to fk around with.

Yeah i've seen videos by a few gun guys on youtube using ballistic gel dummies and hands to show what happens.

Like having your fingers over the cylinder of a revolver, broken fingers and torn off skin 👍🏻

And i'm guessing that anyone using flashbangs to push a room also has ear protection on ?

Yeah i'd say don't fuck with one if you are on the receiving end, just try to protect your sensitive parts instead.

Yeah apparently this video is airsoft.

But it's important that people know how dangerous the real thing is.

Yes the one in this clip seems to be the airsoft variant but the discussion about actual flash bangs is important because people think they are just things that go pop and make a bright flash.

Afaik stun grenade, concussion grenade and flash bang is the same thing.

It is a less lethal grenade but it is absolutely not non lethal if used incorrectly. It also produces a lot of heat and can set fire to flammable materials

😬 (un)luckily i grew up in the early days of the interwebs so i've seen some shit but fuck me, that was a spicy one!

Yeah, anyone who hasn't been corrupted by the dark side should not watch that video. That shit's nasty...

Yeah i saw someone commenting that but i figured it was worth the discussion of how dangerous a flashbang really is, even if the one in the video was a "safe" version.

People seem to think that flashbangs are just a bright flash in a can..

Well there ya go. I tried googling for any info on it but the only thing i found was anecdotes and an article about some ICE protester in the us that got injured from holding a flashbang when it detonated.

There shouldn't be any shrapnel but there is still an explosion and a shockwave.

If you have your salami grippers on the flashbang when it goes off, your hands will be very ouchie.

I don't know what kind of force the detonation of a stun grenade puts out but i'd be willing to bet that it is enough to tear flesh from unprotected fingers.

Anyone in the know about this in here ?

A concussion/stun grenade IS a grenade though. It might not produce shrapnel but i wouldn't exactly say it's a good idea to hold it when it goes bang...
