For a similar piece of equipment, see Flashbang.

The 9-Bang grenade is a throwable concussion device in Find Makarov: Operation Kingfish, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and Call of Duty: Ghosts.

9-Bang
Starting Ammunition	4 (SP)
Maximum Ammunition	4 (SP)
Used by	Delta Force

The device is similar to the flashbang from previous Modern Warfare titles; however, after the first explosion, eight more detonations occur in fast succession, hence the name "9-Bang." It is only used by Delta Force during the campaign. 9-Bangs are first usable in the mission "Black Tuesday", where Sandman orders the player to use them on multiple occasions. They are also usable in the missions; "Hunter Killer", "Bag and Drag", "Iron Lady", and "Scorched Earth".

"Holding produces more flashes to blind the enemy. Fully cooked 9-bangs create an EMP effect that stuns electronics."

— In-game description

The 9-Bang grenade appears in Call of Duty: Ghosts, this time available in multiplayer. After every 0.75 second increment, 1 flashbang effect is added, and after 2.5 seconds it is fully cooked and will finish off with an EMP effect after the flashbangs (If it is thrown without being cooked at all, 1 flash will occur), along with the 5th flash ready. Fully cooking a 9-Bang creates an EMP effect which temporarily disables enemy Ground Based equipment. A maximum of 5 detonations can occur per 9-bang as opposed to 9 in Modern Warfare 3. Strong-arm halves all these times, making it a very strong perk choice for 5 flash effects and an EMP in 1.25 seconds! (Not including the fuse, which is 1.5) The flash beng effect has an 800 unit radius, or 8 meters, and a 512 unit range for the EMP (5.12 meters).

Trivia

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3

• There is a glitch that after first detonation, the remaining 4 flashes do not blind the player (PC Version).
• They do not appear in Multiplayer, instead the regular Flashbang grenade is used. The opposite happens in Call of Duty: Ghosts.
