Systems ALSDDTS Diversionary Device Training System, Combined Systems (CTS) Model 7290T & 7290MT Flash-Bang Training Systems, and Safariland / Defense Technology Low Roll��� Distraction Device�� Training Body and Training Fuzes. ALS also manufactures a Sting-Ball Training System and an IED Simulator Training Set. Except for the special fuze and blue color, the fuzed training fash-bangs are identical in appearance and weight to the operational fash-bangs they are designed to replicate. BFIG Bangs Popular in Europe, BFIGs are just beginning to make their presence felt in the U.S. tactical community. Royal Arms International���s revolutionary new FBG-1 Flash-Bang Training Grenade is the top performer in the BFIG category. Designed specifcally for law enforcement and military training, the FBG-1 is hand-deployed in the same manner as a traditional fash-bang. It may be employed with either special 12gauge shotgun blanks or standard 209 shotshell primers. For safety and to meet legal requirements, the FBG-1 cannot be employed with standard ammunition. It���s a blank-fring device only. Royal Arms��� 12-gauge blanks produce 175 dB at 5 feet. Te 209 primers produce 118 dB at 5 feet. Te 209 primers defnitely are the most cost-efective way to conduct fash-bang training, running only around $.05 each. For those training scenarios in which it���s desirable to have an output that approximates an operational fash-bang, the 12-gauge blanks can be employed. Of course, hearing protection will be mandatory. Te FBG-1 is manufactured by Royal Arms at its Oxnard, Calif. facility. p Thunder Grenade CO2 Flash-bang and Grenade Simulator Kit sold by OPSGEAR.com.

Talcum powder (baby powder) may be put in the outer core or burst diaphragm for added realism to simulate smoke. Most of the nonpyro devices on the market were originally designed for AirSoft and paintball. u Training fuze for Safariland / Defense Technology Low Roll Distraction Device Training Body.

Non-pyro flash-bang simulators��� performance is somewhat temperature-dependent. In fact, some can be unreliable, especially in cold weather. Per-use costs typically run between $2.50 and $5.00, depending on the device. Green Gas is actually propane. Designed for tactical training, the Pioneer Rich Technology Development / Hakkotsu Tunder B Family training fash-bang simulator (TBS-02, TBS-03 and TB-04) and Non-Lethal Training Munitions (NLTM) Tumper TG6�� Training Grenade are top performers in the non-pyro category. Te Hakkotsu Tunder B Family uses standard 12g CO2 cartridges and bursting outer shells. Te output for the Tunder B Family listed
