for reasons that will be obvious after reading this post, i've highlighted some key words.
the ability to just run towards any opposing foe with two flashbangs (which, id like to remind you are also referred to as stun grenades) in your hand with earmuffs on is, simply put, way too much.
the fact that you can just hold two flashbangs and run towards any opposing foe for an INSTANT near max stun with no punishment just doesn't seem like it was intended in the combat. It's extremely one-sided and there is almost no way to defend yourself against it on certain maps that dont have a plentiful amount of earmuffs and sunglasses specifically.
The flashbang also don't disappear when they explode in your hands. (which also do NOT do anything to the person who is holding the flashbangs). The sprite will disappear from your hands, but you will still have to drop the now invisible flashbang to be able to use your hands again, which further supports that this use of the grenades being used in your hands covered by only electrically insulated padding is not intended whatsoever.
A solution to these problems would be to:

A solution to these problems would be to:
- add a stun/large disorient punishment to the person holding the stun grenades
- make flashbang timers random between 3-4 seconds (3.2s, 3.5, 3.8 etc) to prevent them being thrown at the last milisecond.
keeping a fixed time for the flashbangs would still allow people to throw them at the last milisecond without punishment, provided they have earmuffs on - instead of a stun when it explodes in your hand it could give a large disorient and some damage. it is still a grenade after all.
