What is the delay time for an M-84 Flash Bang?

The M-84 Flash Bang is designed to produce a loud sound and a bright flash of light to disorient targets. The delay time of 1.5 seconds is critical for tactical use; it provides enough time for the operator to throw the device and take cover or reposition before the device activates. This timing is strategic, ensuring that the disorienting effects occur just as the intended targets are approached or engaged.

The flash and bang are specifically engineered to maximize the impact of the device, creating both auditory and visual disruptions that can incapacitate an adversary momentarily. Understanding this delay is essential for effective tactical planning and execution during operations.
