Perhaps you were caught in the radius.

[Siserith Vassada]

as an mp you are immune to flashbangs with sec huds.

[Jen_Llama]

I think it has an auditory stun effect, so unless you were out of the radius you'd need ear protection as well.

[Siserith Vassada]

mp radio provieds ear protection.

[Adjective]

mp radio provieds ear protection.

MP are not immune to Flashbangs. You need Earmuffs and Sunglasses to be immune.

i was not stunned or thrown to the ground, i also was not deafend, i also could not move before it exploded after throwing it. this is with protection from the hud glasses and mp radio, which i'me pretty sure does actually protect against flashbangs like secuirty radio's on most stations.

[Jen_Llama]

I could be wrong but I think the auditory stun works similarly to the queen screech, where if you're in the edge of it and don't get outright knocked down you still get stunned and can't move around for a second or two.

I also could not move before it exploded after throwing it.

If this is correct, it's the actual problem. It's worth trying to reproduce, at least. If you have to stay stationary after throwing a flashbang, it lessens their practical use.

Intentional. Helmets provide ear protection from flashbangs. Wear Security HUD + riot helmet to be immune to its effects.
