$300 is an arbitrary price based on who they are selling it to. Like how a little $2 hotel bottle of shampoo at a hospital costs $150 when the health insurance company or Medicaid pays for it. I'm sure the price will be lower once they market it to recreational/home users. They'll probably even still market the same device as "for professional use only" at this original inflated price at the same time, too.

Obviously haven't experienced this in person.... But from this video, pretty sure whoever created this has never experienced a real flashbang. The m84 is rated 170-180db and a million candlepower, and they're also relodable and cost a whole lot less than $300 a bang.

[@shawn7341]

It's more like 6 million, regardless they are not available for purchase without the TAX stamp. The M84 is classified as a destructive device... you'd spend 200 on your stamp alone😂

Just secure the fb and run a trip wire straight to the pin. You could totally put it on the 12 second, and secure it at head hight next to ur front door and run a wire from the door to the pin.

[@Joreel]

I could see this being effective for home defense if someone was breaking into your home late at night to distact them just long enough for you to get them in your sights. Maybe for $50-$75 dollars, but not even closeto what they're charging for it. Pavashot makes an NPDD 165 db reusable home defense gernade for half the price of this thing.

[@Steve-Goff]

[@ryang6295]

It’s kind of neat but the entire advantage of a flashbang is shock and awe. When we deployed flashbangs either with SWAT or what I did in the military the target was instantly deafened and the bright flash was overwhelming. This I feel does not have that auditory effect but definitely the light would be good. I would much rather put my money into traditional flash bangs.

[@waynepitt1590]

A 'normal" flashbang is about 170 dB - so they sound volume is significantly lower on this version than the real ones.

[@Steve-Goff]

- thanks for the info. I don’t have any experience with real ones

[@jonathanreynolds4563]

Wonder if it'd be legal in uk as not being used as weapon in home defence 😂

[@DanielOrtegoUSA]

Interesting device-I’m already thinking of how it could be useful in real-world situations. It might be great for a young daughter-in-law, or even for myself as I get older. If the price reflects the quality, then it’s worth it. 🤷‍♂️

[@Steve-Goff]

I’ve had several products from Nextorch and the quality is always excellent but $300 is high IMO. I only threw it on carpeted floors so I can’t say how it would handle hard surfaces

[@supramanx1997]

I thought the biggest component of the flashbang was the pressure wave when it detonates 🤔

[@hikewomeat]

In past times, disposable photoflash existed. In these devices inside the glass enclosure there was active metal and oxygen. When the electric pulse is supplied, the metal light up and burned with the release of light. It seems to me that a similar principle can be used in these devices. It is necessary to leave the electronic component only to initiate many such bulbes in a certain sequence and not use LEDs.

[@Steve-Goff]

- wow. That’s pretty interesting. Thanks for sharing that

[@jimallen8238]

Wouldn’t a handheld flashlight with a powerful strobe function be better? What good is a flashbang if it also disrupts your own vision.

[@Steve-Goff]

- I’m not in law enforcement or military so I have no real world knowledge but I think the idea is you throw it through a window or room before you enter. It distracts/disorients the people in the room because they aren’t expecting it

[@ToneWV]

Drone thermo/nightvision and this electronic flashbang has endless applications for early warning detection and anti-long range shooter marking (Night operations) This device coupled with a small marking drone would be super deadly. The price though is a bit steep in my opinion but if you are desperate enough to buy it/shrug. Also, where was this item made? Asking because it may not be locked down to one company?

@@Compgeek86 no, we use real bangs when we train. And you do not want a product you like to be purchased by the government. As soon as a product is sold to the government, it is illegal for that product to ever be sold cheaper to another market.

This device appears to be as disruptive to the user as the intended target since the strobe and sound keeps going on. The entire premise of a LSD is to distract and disorient the target quickly, thus allowing the users to move in while the other is disoriented. With this, everyone is getting the same disorienting effect. What is the point?

[@paulcaola6004]

I’m sure they could have made one for $100 and nobody would be complaining. It wouldn’t be as tough, as bright or as loud.

I’m glad they made something that’s “worth something” in this world of overwhelming disposable junk.

[@iblackfeathers]

thanks for testing it out on video. i was frustrated with reviewers last week who had it in their hands but never even tried it out, just reading out the manual. for $300, worth showing how it works. i’ve seen one or two other led flashbangs (when researching more about this) that are in the same price range, so i guess that is probably why this one is also ridiculously expensive. there was a relatively cheaper one for airsoft, but poorer contruction and not as nice as this one. plus this one has more options although too high a price. not a disposable or collateral unit unless you don’t mind treating $300 of gear as such.
