Original Item. Only One Available. The Rheinmetall 9 Bang BTV-EL is an advanced sound and flash grenade designed for tactical training and operational use by military and law enforcement personnel. This grenade features a 9-bang effect with bottom and top venting, delivering a series of intense flashes and sound bursts with a 0.5-second delay between detonations. It generates a sound pressure level of approximately 165 dB at 2 meters and a luminous intensity of 2.5 Mcd, providing effective disorientation in dynamic environments.

Unloaded or dummy grenades, artillery shell casings, and similar devices, which are cut or drilled in an BATF-approved manner so that they cannot be used as ammunition components for destructive devices, are NOT considered NFA weapons. This example is in total compliance and is totally inert. NOT AVAILABLE FOR EXPORT.

When it comes to designing a training program for military personnel, instructors are faced with several challenges. First, unlike athletes there is no off-season, most units are either preparing for deployment, deployed, or refitting from deployment. Secondly, training facilities vary from location to location and often focus on a single task. These tasks may include muscular strength, cardiovascular endurance, field craft or marksmanship. Each of the above contribute to the success of an operation, however there is one area of training that is deficient. This deficiency is visual training; visual ability plays a larger role in achieving optimum performance than most military personnel realize. The goal of integrating visual training into an already packed curriculum is not to dilute it but to improve tactical performance.

To help users better understand the equipment they are using, examples like this cutaway were made. These were intended to give the users a look at the internal structure of the explosives, showing the different layers as well as where they connect or thread into each other.

This is a great U.S. GWOT era cutaway of a scarce Rheinmetall “9 Bang” flashbang grenade. Roughly ¼ of the grenade was cutaway to show the inner workings of the grenade and its bangs. The side of the grenade is stamped:

SOUND & FLASH
9 BANG - Delay: approx. 0.5s
Produced: 11/93

The grenade is very heavy and was likely used as a sample or trainer. It comes in its original husk which is painted 9 BANG / C/A on the top. It is original and the grenade fits well into the carved spot in the styrofoam.

A good example of a cutaway flashbang, ready for further research and display.
