How Not To Deploy A Flashbang in Room Clearing

Norwegian troops practice room clearing using a flashbang... Hilarity ensues...

That's pretty much me in Counter-strike. I seem to have the uncanny ability to bounce the grenade off random bits of geometry so that it comes back towards me. It's why I don't bother buying flashbangs anymore.

There seems to be some confusion about what's going on here. The room shown, with the camera, was to be 'assaulted' in a training exercise. Throwing a flashbang (grenade that deafens and blinds people) in first is a common tactic, but some tit threw it into the door and it bounced back at them, not into the room. I'm something of a God with 'nades in first person shooters to be honest (I suck at everything else, I should play basketball games) but I still get the occasional bounce back. I'm generally using shrapnel grenades, not so funny!

On reflection, this was probably the single best training they got that week. They had to react to a situation no one would have predicted and avoiding the light and noise is good to learn!

MarineGunrock - That is a 'real' situation - with that nick, I thought you'd know. Flashbangs are real equipment and if the same thing happened the same damage would be done. They probably wouldn't laugh as much...

I think MG was referring to the "real" type of situation whereby the camera in this room is replaced by a room full of people with guns and bad attitudes to match, who---if they had any training in said real world situations---would promptly kick the door out and starting shooting first.

That being said, this is why you do training exercises; and it is pretty funny because it's such an epic fail with minimal consequences.

This reminds me of my friend who gets all agitated and contradictory when I say that wrestling is not real...

Ahh, this somehow reminds me of metal gear.


'!'"What was that noise?"

maybe if they just got a really big cardboard box..

Like a fridge box, or something along those lines.

Never mind kicking the door down. Anyone on the other side of that wall would just shoot right through it.

The fact that all norway kids when they turn 18 have to enlist, makes it all more relevant, being that they are all of the age that they would be playin games where they do this shit all the time.

Freakin hilarious.

Good point, they could all be dead by blinding/deafening themselves and alerting the enemy inside, I was just thinking of the actual explosion. "They probably wouldn't laugh as much" was referring to the aftermath, with classic British understatement.

>> ^MarineGunrock:
Ha ha ha all you want now - if that ever happened in a real situation, you'd all be dead.


nah! the enemy would be in stitches! you can just open the door again and fire! they will be helpless laughing on the floor!

I wonder if thats the plan? LOL
