Description: Basically, these grenades are designed to shred enemy soldiers. When they explode, they send out a ton of sharp metal fragments. They're perfect for when you've got a bunch of enemies huddled together or holed up in a building.

How to Use Them (Brendon's Tips):

You'll be tossing these things constantly, so you'll get the hang of it fast. The cool thing is you can 'cook' them, meaning you can hold onto them for a bit before throwing. To do this, just hold down the right-click button. You'll see your crosshair blink about six times. That's your cue to throw it, otherwise, it'll blow up in your hand and take you with it! Seriously, don't hold onto it too long.

Be super careful of enemy grenades, too. Don't be that guy who tries to pick them up – it never ends well. Your best bet is to just run like heck or find some solid cover. If you see a bunch of enemies grouped up, especially if they have those little light-bulbs over their heads (meaning they're chatting and not paying attention), that's the perfect time to toss a grenade. It's pretty satisfying watching them scatter.

Use these grenades to force enemies out of their hiding spots. Once they run, you can finish them off with your gun. They're also great for tossing into windows where you suspect enemies are lurking, or even into the path of incoming jeeps. Just always remember, the enemy has them too, so stay aware of your surroundings.

If you ever get stuck in a weird spot and don't want to type '/kill' in the console, or you're just feeling a bit reckless, you can try bouncing them off walls. Just be mindful of your teammates; you don't want to accidentally blow them up because of a bad throw or a dark sense of humor.

A Little History:

Not a ton of historical info on this specific grenade, but they're heavier than you might think. Imagine holding one – it makes sense why soldiers wouldn't just be chucking them around constantly. They're not baseballs, and you could definitely hurt yourself if you weren't careful!
