Playing games like Rainbow 6, I figure they let it go off first before entering, but watching an SAS documentary, they chuck it in as they go in. They have special filters on their masks to block out the flash, and ear plugs for the bang. They also said they just get use to it after all that training
Anyways, just curious. Could be just a matter of technique

Depends on the situation. I've seen both.
There are things you can do to lesson the effects of a flash bang, but you will always be a little messed up.
The one disadvantage of chucking and going, is that it tells the enemy where your coming from, and even disoriented people will get a shot off.
