The flash-pak ignites at once, firing a series of blinding micro-bursts 
designed to disorient any animal relying on visible light, and powerful enough 
to overcome the reactive flash compensators of most military-style helmets. The 
riot grenade bangs immediately, but takes a second or two to achieve full 
effect. Fragmentation damage is negligible. The MECAR MP-76’s plastic shell 
tends to split like the skin of a fruit rather than shatter into lethal shards. 
The minimal explosive charge serves primarily as a propellant for the grenade’s
potent fumes.
