1. A diversionary device, comprising:
a triggering mechanism;
a payload including a first and a second envelope, the first envelope being inside the second envelope, the second envelope having a predetermined failure pattern; and
a compressed gas container containing a compressed gas, the compressed gas being non-flammable, the triggering mechanism being coupled to the compressed gas container, the triggering mechanism conveying at least some of the gas from the compressed gas container to the first envelope after a predetermined delay after the triggering mechanism is activated, the gas conveyed to the payload causing the payload to produce a diversionary acoustic effect.
