Sorry Ben , if it came across as though I was mixing the two up. Not so.
I was mainly catering to muckluck's desire to experience one.
It would be safer to try it with a thunderflash first, rather than a flashbang. Just use the thunderflash in an enclosed space and imagine the effects if they were multiplied a few times plus an incredibly bright strobe and you'd be close.
Our sergeant-major was fond of using them to wake up us instructors when we were on our camp at the shooting range. We had those camp cots with the plain yellow foam mattresses. If it went off under you it burnt a crater in the bottom of it so that the mattress was about an inch thick in the centre of the crater and your kidney hurt for several hours. Fun guy.
Bored troops and explosive devices are a great mix. I still remember how high a steel trashcan gets blown when up-ended over a thunderflash. Without a reference, I'd guess at least 3 stories up.
