Can M84 Stun Grenade Cause Damage?

[Onsdag]

This thing seems to be really loud, from Wikipedia:

"Upon detonation, it emits an intensely loud "bang" of 170–180 decibels and a blinding flash of more than one million candela within five feet of initiation"

 

[sjtinguy]

the rest of that sentence from wikipedia is "sufficient to cause immediate flash blindness, deafness, tinnitus, and inner ear disturbance." so i'd say yes it can cause damage

A well aimed grenade will worsen your T and a perfectly aimed one will cure it permanently.

They don't sound like the ideal birthday gift for your nephew if you were wondering about that.

I thought that there was a limit to what people can survive and it was around 180dB before your inner orgns start bursting?

 

[linearb]

it's literally a weapon

170 dB is more than a thousand times louder than the threshold of pain (140 dB).

Or, seen from another viewpoint, even wearing double protection (earplugs + earmuffs) which attenuate about 35 decibels, the perceived sound would be about as loud as a jet engine taking off.

I would stay very far from this stuff, if at all possible.
