    Yes; but

    Ammo is cheaper.

    Civilian flashbangs are piss poor and also stupidly overpriced

    Just DIY one with a bright flashlight and fire crackers. Bonus points if you have a bunch of roombas that start up when an intruder enters for added confusion

    I’m pretty sure flash bangs are considered explosives and it’s illegal to be in possession of this class of explosive unless you have a reason too

    What constitutes self defense varies significantly. 

    When there is no other choice, and your life is on the line, anythings goes up to and including murder.

    Hear me out. Smoke bombs and use it as a way to flee the scene. But you gotta have an evil laugh as you run

    Unless you have a magazine keeper license, absolutely not. The fuse is a regulated explosive and the ATF will be pissed.
