Police have killed a bunch of innocent bystanders (including infants) with flashbangs before, I'd love to the lawyer asking to demo it in the courtroom just to see the police guys try to squirm their way out of it.

There was a dude I knew back from basic training who insisted that tear gas wouldn't effect him, then during the gas house he went from from to in a few minutes. It always cheers me up.

That whole experience sounds soo miserable.

I want to say the manufacturer and department policy said they were fine to deploy in a bedroom size space, so the lawyer asked if he could set one off in the considerably larger courtroom. I never saw a transcript but I'll try to find it because I'm sure it's a great read. I think it was last year an officer was pretty seriously injured when one went off in the trunk of his car while he was standing next to it. Not sure if it was a mistake or if he was loving around, but they're no joke even with less blast and no frag compared to the regular article. Even smoke and tear gas grenades can start fires, who would have guessed that grenades can be dangerous?

There's still a concussive effect to flashbang grenades, so I would assume exploding one in a bedroom would be fine if you don't mind permanently damaging someone that you want to STOP RESISTING!!! but maybe you don't want to murder.

There's also the obvious risk of permanent hearing damage.

The issue that occurs often enough is you get 10 keyed up cops for a no knock raid on someone, they flashbang the poor fucker while he's sleeping, then storm in and scream to get on the ground and stop resisting. So now you're suddenly woken up, concussed, can't see or hear, and your sense of balance is completely gone, and now have a bunch of strangers in your house screaming a bunch of poo poo at you at the top of their lungs. He staggers around drunkenly and lurches towards an officer, who then shoots him dead. They later learn that they served the warrant to the wrong house. Police department determines there was no wrongdoing, case closed. Also, they shot his dog. Demonstrating the effects of a flashbang in a courtroom is a stroke of genius if they were angling to get the cops to admit that is a massively disorienting effect and nobody can be reasonably expected to do anything except wallow in misery for a minute or so after it happens. Probably good enough to get the resisting arrest and assaulting an officer charges dropped.

Humphreys posted:I have a self imposed ban on trying to test anything 240VAC and higher. Everytime I gently caress up and trip a breaker AND/OR blow the poo poo out of my DMM probes. I'm sticking to DC low voltage (yes yes 240VAC is technically low but you know what I mean). I need to test on a 500kVA transformer secondary at 600V. Arc flash level is very very high so I am going to be taking significant additional precautions. Hottest test I ever witnessed was a phase rotation check on 14,000V gear. EDIT: checked my math I think it's actually around 800kVA. 800 amps, 600 volts, root 3... I think the impedance is 6% and you use that to calculate the short circuit current...

`Nemesis posted:"This is what happens when you let your uninsured buddy use your bucket truck" Stay in the vehicle if contact is made with a line. If the vehicle catches on fire, you need to jump away from the vehicle. Land with both feet and use the momentum to continue hopping away with both feet together or shuffle taking tiny steps. Do not walk until you are 30 feet from the vehicle. If you touch the vehicle's frame with your feet on the ground you may be electrocuted. If you fall on the ground you may be electrocuted from the voltage diffential. If you take too long of a step you may be electrocuted from the voltage differential.

It really does clear you put for a while. If you want to know what it feels like to breathe in CS had, take a really big hit from a burnt out bowl with resin and ash. It's like that but it doesn't stop burning. I handled this surprisingly well even with my lung problems because I may have had lots of elective experience breathing smoke. On your eyes and face it just feels like hot sauce got all over your face and in your eyes. You can totally see, but it hella sucks and you don't want to keep your eyes open.
