    these things were a joke anyhow. Not even remotely close to being a real FB. They had a fireworks type explosive of extremely small power inside. The fuses were a MAX 1.5 seconds probably closer to 1 second with the three I tried. Almost no flash and a weak bang.

    You use it outside in the sun or in a dark room? I have a feeling alot of people expect flashbangs to be greater than they are. But yes real flashbangs have more flashpowder in them iirc.

    no response from lockhart on this issue since 08/04...….obviously they are either trying to skirt the issue...in the hopes it goes away, or simply do not give a "scheisse" about their customers....was keen to see how they would deal with the customers who bought into these, although I didn't...it goes to show their "true colors" as a vendor and how they back up their products....


    mental note...never purchase from lockhart ever again.....

    Don't be childish. You bought a device that you knew required someone else to refill. The fact that a govt official banned this is not the fault of Lockhart.
    It's no different than buying an obscure caliber rifle then blaming the retailer for not guaranteeing your ammo supply. Buyer beware.

    actually, I didn't buy any.....as I clearly said......just commenting on what seems like a raw deal for the ones who did.....

    But it shows a lot about a retailer when they wont even respond to the posts, I am simply a potential customer that doesn't like the way it was handled......Yes I understand it was some bureaucrat that screwed them....but it would seem to be their customers that got screwed.....the vendor seemed to make out ok.

    But a comment from the vendor on the issue is warranted and should be addressed, there are other vendors who have had deals change on them that are beyond their control....and have had made deals with the customers that are a win/win for both parties …. good vendors will do this to protect their reputations, and attempt to make the customer happy...so they come back...

    Childish seems a bit of a stretch? Maybe you work for them and are trolling for them?...… that would make sense

    These left a sour taste in my mouth and I am much less likely to buy a lockhart only product. I do understand that Lampert is pretty bad to deal with as well and took a bunch of their money too, but I'm still left with underwhelming $50 single use "flashbangs."

    I did my best to open some eyes at order time. Fully what I expected.

    When these first came available I thought that's kinda cool. Then I thought what practical use could I possibly have for one. So never bought into the hype guess that was a good thing.
