Is that Chuck Norris or have the Russians figured out how to open a can of whoopass?
13 seconds into the video.
Whoever gets the short straw has to use the boomstick!
We used to joke about the Red Army training soldiers to get out of a burning tank by put them in a tank and lighting it on fire and now I see that was just the begining.

What the heck IS this thing? I work in a prison where they use percussion grenades, but I've never seen anything like this. It's like the orc who runs into the tunnel at Helm's Deep in the Lord of the Rings movie. You know, the one with that big doohicky in his arms. Any of guys in SWAT or TACT or the military who have experience with something like this? If we lost control in a cell block and could find someone crazy enough to run onto the unit waving one of these things, I just KNOW the inmates would get back in their cells.

Maybe it was just a standard flashbang grenade thrown in a bus made by Lada, which would explain all the debris flying all over the place

The Russians place top value on killing the terrorists. Any hostages that survive are considered a bonus.

the only boomstick I'm familiar with is they type you use to kill gators....a shotgun shell on the end of a ten foot pole.

I would guess, though I'm no expert, some form of shaped charge, directing the concussion away from the guy with the stick. It doesn't really resemble a flashbang as such. Some form of shrapnel-less touch sensitive device. That video made me lol so hard, though I would want to be in the bus. Beserkers are not dead, they joined Spetsnaz!
