What are the primary effects of stun grenades on humans?

• A. Thermal and Optical
• B. Acoustic and Magnetic
• C. Psychological and Physiological
• D. Chemical and Radiological

Answer: (C)

Stun grenades work by causing a rapid sensory overload, combining a bright flash with a loud blast. The primary effects on people are psychological and physiological. Psychologically, the overwhelming sensory input disrupts perception and cognitive processing, leading to disorientation and confusion that reduces situational awareness. Physiologically, the intense noise and visual stimulus can cause temporary hearing loss or tinnitus, dizziness, loss of balance, and impaired vision due to the flash. These effects are short-lived and intended to create an opening for officers to move or gain control without causing lasting harm. Heat, smoke, chemicals, or magnetic aspects are not the primary effects of stun grenades.
