Flashbang grenades does not affect allies. Why? They are just common flashbang grenades.

Unless... they were some type of new flashbang grenades that only affect the aliens' cornea. Yeah, that could work!

And... i am not complaining, i just wanted to know if Johnny had a good reason to not to implement human-harmful flashbang grenaes.

When real-world SWAT or special ops teams use flashbangs, they generally aren't affected by them, presumably because they know they're coming. We'll just say that's what's going on in XCOM.
