Less-Lethal Options I Flash-Bang Options & Procedures as either 110 dB and 130 dB���loud but not so loud as to require hearing protection. Te NLTM Tumper TG6 uses special 8g CO2 cartridges (the type used in many seltzer bottles) and burst diaphragms. Te Tumper TG6 has an output of approximately 120 dB. Hakkotsu has also recently introduced its TB-05 Tunder Shock Grenade, which is intended as a booby-trap grenade simulator. It has a shorter delay time (less than a second) than other members of the Tunder B Family. Hakkotsu also makes a WWII-style ���pineapple grenade��� body (TBS-01) for the Tunder B Family. Te Hakkotsu Tunder B Family is made in Hong Kong. Te NLTM Tumper TG-6 is made in the USA. Loud But Not Too Loud All of these pyrotechnic and non-pyrotechnic devices mentioned are loud enough for efective training but not so loud as to mandate hearing protection. Tis makes them ideal for role-playing, scenario-based, force-on-force training. Plus, training can be conducted in more locations than would be possible with a higher dB output. Decibels are measured by what���s known as a ���logarithmic function.��� An increase of 3 dB will double the intensity of the report. Short-term unprotected exposure to sound pressure levels exceeding 130 dB may result in mechanical cochlear damage to the human ear. Although no permanent hearing loss should result from a single exposure to a fash-bang, the efects of loud noises are cumulative and irreversible. Realistic fash-bang training has never been more afordable. Today���s fash-bang training options allow teams to train more often, in more places, and with much greater safety than has been the case in the past.
