Trip flare with flash bang

1. A trip flare comprising:

a body having a sidewall and a hollow interior;

a lid releasably attached to the body;

the lid including a fuse;

the interior of the body containing an illuminant composition in communication with the fuse; and

a flash bang charge composition in communication with the fuse and attached to the lid by an elongated flexible tether.

2. The trip flare of claim 1 wherein the tether is a coil when received within the interior of the body.

3. The trip flare of claim 1 further comprising an ignition composition proximate the illuminant composition such that combustion of the ignition composition ignites the illuminant composition.

4. The trip flare of claim 3 wherein the flash bang charge composition has a pyrotechnic fuse proximate the ignition composition such that combustion of the ignition composition ignites the pyrotechnic fuse.

5. The trip flare of claim 3 further comprising a first fire composition proximate the ignition composition such that combustion of the first fire composition ignites the ignition composition.

6. The grenade of claim 5 further comprising an intermediate charge within the fuse, the intermediate charge proximate the first fire composition such that combustion of the intermediate charge ignites the first fire composition.

7. The trip flare of claim 3 wherein gases resulting from combustion of the ignition composition launch the lid and flash bang charge above the body.

8. The trip flare of claim 7 wherein the lid rises above the flash bang charge such that the flash bang charge hangs close to the lid on the elongated tether.

9. A trip flare comprising:

a body having a sidewall and a hollow interior;

a lid releasably attached to the body;

the lid including a fuse;

the interior of the body containing combustible composition in communication with the fuse; and

a flash bang charge composition in communication with the fuse and attached to the lid by an elongated flexible tether.

10. The trip flare of claim 9 wherein the combustible composition is selected from the group consisting of an illuminant composition, and obscurant composition, and an irritant composition.

11. The trip flare of claim 9 wherein the tether is a coil when received within the interior of the body.

12. The trip flare of claim 9 further comprising an ignition composition proximate the combustible composition such that combustion of the ignition composition ignites the combustible composition.

13. The trip flare of claim 12 wherein the flash bang charge composition has a pyrotechnic fuse proximate the ignition composition such that combustion of the ignition composition ignites the pyrotechnic fuse.

14. The trip flare of claim 12 further comprising a first fire composition proximate the ignition composition such that combustion of the first fire composition ignites the ignition composition.

15. The grenade of claim 14 further comprising an intermediate charge within the fuse, the intermediate charge proximate the first fire composition such that combustion of the intermediate charge ignites the first fire composition.

16. The trip flare of claim 12 wherein gases resulting from combustion of the ignition composition launch the lid and flash bang charge above the body.

17. The trip flare of claim 16 wherein the lid rises close to the flash bang charge such that the flash bang charge hangs close to the lid on the elongated tether.
