What does this suggestion add:
Swaps the LordiAnders' flashbangs for a VManip equivalent, seen in this relatively popular addon. This flashbang can be held and thrown via holding and releasing a key bound to "+quickFlashnade," a console command instead of an actual held item.
Has something similar been suggested before? If so, why is your suggestion different?:
There were suggestions to fix not being able to swap to a weapon after throwing a LordiAnders' flashbang, which still persists to this day.
Possible Positives of the suggestion:
The flashbang remains one of the least used pieces of utility on the server because of how both impractical and frustrating it is to use. It has a long fuse and time to deploy, making it predictable, avoidable, and not at all worth the risk of putting your weapon away. Replacing the flashbang would make it downright practical and easy to use, reviving strategies that rely on coordination and lineups seen in tactical shooters.

Possible Positives of the suggestion:
- Eliminates a frustrating bug that renders flashbangs useless in combat
- Increases the viability of flashbangs by ease of use via simple key bind, creating more nuanced game play
- Congruent with existing VManip animations and feature sets (uses grenade ammo, easily configurable)
- Behaviour needs to be heavily tweaked to conform to the functionality of the current flashbang (it doesn't fully blind players, cant be "un-thrown," and classes who are able to use the bind need to be configurable via VJobEditor)
- One additional supporting addon needs to be installed
