i like how the image is a smoke grenade and the first line says smoke grenade, but the actual story describes a flashbang

I'm pretty sure flashbangs are less about the flash, and more about the bang.

the post seems to be talking about a precise grenade throw in a game. the only game i know that has such a thing is counter strike, so assuming that's what it is.

in CS, the player (for some reason) only gets deafened if they're looking at the grenade, meaning they also get blinded. plus, the blinding effect is way more important than the deafening effect, since a person would still be able to shoot someone else if they're just deafened.

You also dont throw them at your enemies. Replacing "smoke" with "flash" works wqy better

Are smoke grenades multi-use?

[–] rocketpoweredredneck@sh.itjust.works 35 points 1 week ago (1 children)

not unless you make them yourself, but i wouldn't recommend trying to make multi-use smoke grenades

Noted. I will not.

No. Anon died doing what he loved.

I like smoking too.

I don't anymore, but I still like it.

I'm become the inverse Mitch Hedberg.
