Flash Grenade
From Team Fortress Wiki
The Flash Grenade is a secondary grenade in the Team Fortress series. When the timer goes off, the grenade releases a white light that blinds victims for a few seconds. In QWTF, it also does damage.

The Flash grenade is used by the Scout in QWTF and the Scout and Sniper in ETF. In QWTF, the only way that the Scout will have the Flash grenade is if the cvar "old_grens" is set to "on".
The Flash Grenade is not in TFC.
[edit] Tactics
The Flash Grenade is a great way to bypass areas filled with defenders. Prime a flash grenade before entering an area that you know is filled with defenders and/or strong classes. When you get inside, toss the grenade at or near the enemies, then turn away right before the grenade explodes. If done correctly, the enemy will not be able to avoid the grenade and will be blinded for a few seconds. This is a prime opportunity to run past them without having to fight back.
The same technique can also be applied to a target that is pursuing you. The grenade will blind him long enough for you to get away from him.
