I'll go first. Mine is the instant knockout drug. Like Dexter's intramuscular injection that causes someone to immediately lose consciousness. Or in the movie Split where there's the aerosol spray in your face that makes you instantly unconscious. Or pretty much any time someone uses chloroform.

Grenades. A hand grenade has a kill radius of 5 meters and an injury radius of 15 meters. You're not going to toss one around a corner and survive.
Eh, you are if you’re tossing it around a concrete wall. We tossed grenades into bunkers while laying half a foot from the opening when I was in the Army, and it was fine. You feel it, but you’re uninjured. Now if you mean something like a commercial office wall, then yes, you gonna die.
It's Always Sunny makes a joke about this. They throw a grenade in a car, expecting it to be a huge awesome fiery explosion.
Instead, "poomf" and the car alarm and airbags go off with a little bit of smoke.
