Does anyone have any information on flash-bang grenades? Possibly instructions or procedures in the production of these devices?

I do a lot of searching the the US Patent database at "www.uspto.gov" for things like this and I've seen a patent from a major police supplier for flash bangs that you could make real easily. According to the patent you take 3/4 ounce of double base powder (IMR type), mix it with up to 20% aluminum powder, place it in a light weight plastic tube, and detonate the whole thing with a small .22 magnum type detonator. This is the same as the cops buy from this company.

just an idea but how about 20cc of strong flash in a strong plastic container , this'd make one hell of a bang and flash.
(note: only one end of the container would be open , to give a directional flash. You could use a fully sealed container with more flash to make a more grenade style thing)

I heard that a permanganate flash should/must be used. Is this correct?
