Where should stun grenades be deployed during a vehicle assault?

• A. Behind cover and out of sight of occupants
• B. In plain view of occupants opposite of team
• C. On the vehicle tires
• D. Inside the adjacent room

Answer: (B)

Stun grenades are used to rapidly disrupt occupants by delivering a sudden bright flash and loud bang, causing temporary disorientation. For maximum effect, the device should be visible to the people inside and positioned so they encounter the flash and noise directly, while your team stays protected. Deploying in plain view of the occupants, on the side opposite your team, ensures they are confronted with the disorienting stimulus immediately as you move in to secure the space. If the device were hidden behind cover or kept out of their sight, the flash and bang could be less impactful, giving occupants time to recover and respond. Placing a device on vehicle tires or inside an adjacent room neither guarantees exposure nor maintains safety and control during the entry.
