"FLASH-BANGS" & Legal Requirements | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Single use, Diversion Device 175db @ 5 Feet, 6-8 million candela 8.5 millisec. 50% of energy from top, 50% of energy from bottom. Sting-Ball Grenades are explosive "rubber-ball" style grenades that upon initiation eject high-durometer rubber balls into a radius surrounding the device. Sting-Balls are primarily used for crowd control in indoor and outdoor situations. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, firearms and Explosives has recently reinterpreted their stance on just who CAN import / manufacture / deal in "FLASH-BANG" grenades. Your local UNIFORM SHOP can not be selling your agency Destructive Devices whether they actually touch the devices or have them drop-shipped. The entity to which you contract your purchase from MUST possess a Federal Firearms License that encompasses "Destructive Devices" ("Flash-Bangs") and Explosives-High. From the November 2008 FFL Newsletter: TRANSACTIONS IN EXPLOSIVE-TYPE DESTRUCTIVE DEVICES ATF has been asked about the controls on firearms which also contain explosives, such as ‘flash-bang’ grenades. Firearms of this type are subject to the Gun Control Act (GCA)(Title 18, U.S.C., Chapter 44), the National Firearms Act (NFA)(Title 26, U.S.C., Chapter 53), and the Federal Explosives laws (Title 18, U.S.C., Chapter 40). Provisions of the Arms Export Control Act may also apply. In both the GCA and the NFA, a firearm is defined to include a destructive device. A destructive device is further defined (in part) as: (a) any explosive, incendiary, or poison gas (1) bomb, (2) grenade, (3) rocket having a propellant charge of more than 4 ounces, (4) missile having an explosive or incendiary charge of more than one-quarter ounce, (5) mine, or (6) similar device; Accordingly, this type of destructive device is not only a firearm but is also an explosive subject to all explosives regulatory provisions including specific storage, distance, licensing, and other requirements. While there is a general exemption under the Federal explosives laws for work performed under Government contract, if you are in the business of importing, manufacturing, or dealing in explosive-type destructive devices, you will need the appropriate firearms and explosives licenses or permit and special (occupational) tax (SOT) under the NFA. If your activity is being conducted under a United States Government contract, you may apply for an exemption from the SOT. If you import explosive-type destructive devices, you must: If you manufacture the explosives to be used in the manufacture of explosive-type destructive devices, you must: If you deal in explosive-type destructive devices, you must: In limited circumstances, a person could acquire explosive-type destructive devices by having a permit as a user of high explosives. The acquisition would only be for the person’s own business use or interstate transport. On-Board Storage of "Flash-Bang" grenades by Law enforcement Agencies As indicated above, the BATFE has maintained that "Distraction Devices" / Noise-Flash Distraction Devices / Flash Bang Grenades / "Sting-Ball" Grenades, are classified "Firearms" as well as "Explosives". Accordingly, a padlocked .30-cal ammo can does not qualify as a "Storage Magazine" with respect to federal Explosives laws. Under Title 18, United States Code (U.S.C.), Section 842(j), all persons must store explosive materials in compliance with the regulations issued by the Attorney General. Held further, State and local bomb technicians and explosives response teams may store explosive materials in unattended, official response vehicles parked at an outdoor location, provided the conditions set forth below are met at all times. Held further, all State and local law enforcement agencies intending to store explosive materials in official response vehicles, whether attended or unattended, must meet the following criteria at all times: | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
