Implementing stun grenades into PR could make things like breaching and such a lot easier and fun. These grenades are meant to stun people with usually a loud sound and blinding flash, so they are non-lethal.
I think it would be a good addition to PR, it would certainly make it more fun and somewhat realistic. Maybe putting the M84 grenade into the riflemen specialist kit?
The only problem is I can't find stun grenades for the other conventional armies (obviously not MEC, as they're a fictional faction).
It's not that we need this in PR, but it would be a nice addition to it.

If you don't manage to kill an insurgent, don't go after him, he'll IED you.
If you don't manage to kill an insurgent, don't stay in the same place, he'll molotov you.

We did actually have them available for the Squad Leader and the Grenadier kits until relatively recently. We removed them on the basis that regular frontline troops are never issued with flashbang-type grenades for regular combat, and very rarely issued them for counter-insurgency type operations.
So on the grounds that we wanted to represent regular forces accurately we removed them and used the kit slots for other gear

They weren't even very good back then. Turning away could negate it, and 1/5 times it went off in my face to no effect.
Besides, 3 guys in a room watching a door get flashbanged. They fire at said door, and are no longer flash banged by the time they must reload.
