Faulty fuse?

[Seperate Vermont]

Most Vermontians would not want to carry an explosive device with a less than perfect probability it goes off early. Plus were more defensive.

The Heer utilizes the Steilhandgrenate 24 to date.

[San Principe]

The military of San Principe is not issued hand grenades.

[Paradasea II]

The Town Reserve Guard employs a small number of M67s, though they primarily use flashbang grenades.

First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it.

Only for high-ranking officers, of course

Why throw a grenade when you can throw molotov's? They cause more pain, are cheaper to make, and fill bunkers with flamming liquid. We do have them, however for our more elite units. A Zoblacon grenade comes in two kinds: Blasters and Burners. Blasters are your traditional shrapnel spreading grenades. Burners are detonated by stronger explosives inside a napalm-filled shell. Burners are the prefered choice.

Because molotov's are more difficult to prepare for tossing, far less lethal, and inferior to thermobarics.

Not to mention flamethrowers.

[Strykla]

Strykla's grenades are used only in launchers. Hand grenades have been replaced, as a arm- or gun-mounted launcher can put the package to a much farther distance. In CQC, the grenades can be taken out and used as a hand grenade.

Our troops have powered exoskeletons sealed against vacuum and gas attacks. They could walk through a burning building and end up covered in soot and have some plates scorched.

They aren't traditional GL grenades, not like your 40mm. Since I love railguns, they are magnetically launched and are basically steel and iron shell encasing some(stable) explosive. At least, that's the standard HEDP round. A fuse can be attached if needed.

Why not just use artillery then if you are going to stand back at range?

The purpose of the hand grenade is for the assault and to take positions.

It's only used for taking out relatively lightly-armored positions. If real artillery is needed, real artillery can be used.

Aside from the Steilhandgrenate that's probably one of the most famous grenades in history right there you've got.
