Used for restoring order under difficult conditions, the Alsetex Splinterless stun hand grenade (code 410) is designed to disorient groups of mobile individuals. This is achieved by causing temporary deafness, through the aggressive effects of intense noise, thus rendering neutralisation both rapid and effective.

The grenade can also be employed to create a diversion by causing an effect of surprise, enabling thus neutralisation in special operations such as freeing of hostages or difficult tatical situations.
