If it did, strobes wouldn't even be considered tactically beneficial. Regardless, we've tested these things in class, and a strobing weapon-light doesn't impair the shooter unless they're strobing very close to a very light-colored wall or large object.
And if the BG raises his weapon, we shoot him, as per the rules of engagement, so if they 'panic and try to begin shooting,' well, they're toast before they begin firing.

I guess wasn’t very clear. I do not mean that the strobe has an impact on the user’s eyesight but, rather the flickering motion can make it difficult to get a clean view of the target. Unless I am just completely mistaken about the intensity or rate of the strobe?
