A stun grenade is a thrown weapon that appears in Fallout: New Vegas, Fallout Tactics and Van Buren. Stun grenades, also known as flash grenades or flashbangs, are non-lethal grenades used to disorient and distract targets by producing a blinding flash of light and loud sound, without causing permanent damage. The bright light over-stimulates the nerves in the eye, causing temporary blindness, and the loud sound causes temporary hearing loss and loss of balance from disruption to the fluid in the ear.

Flash grenades, by themselves, do very little harm. They instead use a magnesium core to release a blinding flash upon detonation, stunning opponents caught in the blast radius.
