    Grenades of that type (M24s) had basically no fragmentation. The warheads were thin bodied metal, and didn’t by default have a fragmentation sleeve. The effects of blast were short ranged.

    The throw was shorter than I’d personally feel comfortable with if I didn’t absolutely have to be in that range, but he was likely just fine.
