Depending of the fuse, it may or may not detonate in body if they're not wearing armour. In body detonation without a armour will likely remove limbs and take out large chunks of meat. Even if it did detonate after exiting the body, shrapnel would probably kill the victim and anyone within 0.75-1m.
If it hits a plate, though, I suspect it would partially penetrate the plate before detonating, turning any ceramics into shrapnel while blowing a hole in the chest behind the plate.
It would likely need to hit a point near a limb to pull off a chunk of flesh large enough to sever a limb. The round, assuming detonation, would likely kill the individual pretty much anywhere it hit in the lovely square of death that everyone has. Blood loss, shock, cardiac arrest, fragmentation and burns are all going to happen in addition to the trauma inflicted by the 12.7mm round, which, I probably dont need to tell you, is pretty massive.
I was assuming that the limb was hit, FWIW.
I feel like more 40mm grenades couldn't hurt. American squads seem to carry more, at any rate.

A machete blade is fairly dull and not very stabby.
