Decoys

DECOYS (See also, TOOLS, IMPROVISED WEAPONS) Decoys are a simple and reliable improvised device thrown to create a sound at the point of impact. Constructed from whatever hard material is available at hand, often scrap metal and glass. Useful primarily in drawing attention, decoys are a non-offensive device used for stealth and subterfuge. That said, naturally the impact of such a device is still able to cause a slight wound. Decoys must be kept under compression in a soft bag or pouch to eliminate their audibility, to do otherwise is to carry on one's person a jangling noise, drawing attention, and defeating their purpose.
