👉 A reminder weapon, often referred to as a flashbang, is a device designed to temporarily blind or disorient its target by emitting a bright, intense light pulse. This brief flash can last from a few milliseconds to a couple of seconds and is typically used for self-defense purposes. The sudden burst of light disrupts vision, creating a momentary blind spot that can be exploited to escape danger. While effective in certain scenarios, reminder weapons are illegal in many jurisdictions due to their potential for misuse and the risk of unintended harm.
