NCIS/ Hawaii five-0 question related to warfare

[Twinkle_1987]

I am trying to remember the name of the things that special forces use to stun large groups of "criminals" in one go (often seen on NCIS or Hawaii five-0).
They are canisters that get chucked into buildings and release smoke/ loud noises/ flashes of light prior to the teams entering.

If no one can answer the Q can you at least point me to a better topic area in which to post it!

stun grenades?

[Twinkle_1987]

Yes! They're stun grenades, also known as flashbangs. Flashbangs was the name I was thinking of though. :)

Thank you clever people of AB. :)

I watch some dubious programmes - Stargate Atlantis is where I received my military training.

All my interrogation training comes from NCIS. Slamming hands on tables and chucking folders at suspects with pictures of dead guys in them always seems to break them. I could be Gibbs' partner. :P
I could join the police and become a DCI in no time. Hahahahaaaaa!
