I know there have probably been many posts about this, but I see many people still talking about this. In the E3 demo, the grenade that stuns the grunts and jackal is thought by many to be a flash bang, here are some reason why I say it isn't.
1. The marine says "FRAG and clear." Frag is short for fragmentation.
2. When the grenade explodes, there is a large plume of fire. Flashbangs leave a small cloud of smoke after exploding, not a large fireball.
3. Flashbangs are non-lethal, to some extent anyway. If you watch, before the grenade is thrown there is no blood on the ground, after the explosion there are pools of glowing blood on the ground.
4. Many people say "why are they covering their eyes then?!", I think that if a fragmentation grenade exploded near me without killing me, I would be stunned. Don't you think that the combination of looking into the blast, hearing the boom of the detonation, and just feeling the pressure caused by the blast would cause a stun affect? Also, don't you think that shards of metal/dirt/dust could have been blinding them?
Tell me what you think....
