>At least 50 Americans have been seriously injured, maimed or killed by flashbangs since 2000
I was surprised to see this statistic included. It really makes this issue seem less significant and does not help the argument being made. This means a little over 3 people per year injured or worse. Probably less than 1 death per year. By comparison, vending machines alone kill over a dozen people each year. Was this supposed to say, "we located over 50 people", and not intended to be put forward as a statistic?
