After reading my note last week about the Nextorch Distraction Device, a reader let me know of a tragic story where a flashbang killed an officer.
From the headline:
The death of a veteran North Carolina SWAT officer from a flash-bag device is surprising. However, it should be pointed out that the devices pack a punch — heat exceeding 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit, a blast reaching 175 decibels and a flash of 1 million Candle-power.
