[edit] Variations

[edit] Physical, Sonic

The first one was a fairly standard grenade, used by many factions. It exploded with a small blast radius, killing most organics and damaging equipment. A sonic shockwave was expelled in the explosion that stunned anyone right outside the blast radius.

[edit] Sonic

The second kind did not detonate in a traditional sense. The common blast radius was 4 meters, fairly large for a handheld explosive. It created only the sonic shockwave, stunning anybody hit by it rather than killing or wounding them.

[edit] Physical

The third kind, designed for use against vehicles and equipment.The grende was very useful against vehicles that where fast and slow moving vehicles because of its tendancy to stick to vehicles armor.The grenade was not used much against organics, due to its small blast radius.
