Concussion grenades.

In an enclosed space they kill by overpressure. They are similar to a stun grenade, however a stun grenade is very little bang with a lot of flash to disorient the subject. In close proximity a stun grenade can rupture ear drums and force eyeballs from their sockets. Concussion grenades are a lot of bang with little flash and almost no shrapnel effects. Concussion grenades are normally called defensive grenades as they are designed for use outdoors to disorient enemy soldiers, whereas a stun grenade is useless outside as there is no walls to reflect the sound waves and the flash is diminished.

A fragmentation grenade or offensive grenade has less explosive than a concussion grenade, however it is designed to fragment, and those shrapnel fragments are designed to would or kill in addition to the blast effect of the explosion itself.
