  Hand grenade Summary
The word "grenade" is derived from the Old French (pome) grenate ("pomegranate"), in reference to the general size of early grenades, and because its shrapnel pellets reminded soldiers of the seeds of this fruit.
Classical "pineapple" grenades, such as the Mills bomb, used smokeless powder and cast-iron shells, which (in theory) would fragment along deliberately-cast weak points in the shell—although the pattern on the grenade body was actually intended to allow the user to have a firm grip on the grenade.
Similarly, gas-expelling grenades are not often used to force criminals out of their cover because of the risk of intoxicating people in enclosed areas, although SWAT teams will occasionally employ CS gas grenades to facilitate the arrest of an armed suspect, especially if there are no bystanders in the area.

 More Grenade Ideas
If this were not possible then grenades would be used, and their detonation would be a signal for the submachine gunners to move forward and assist the grenadiers in mopping up with hand weapons.
A flat top allows the grenade to be stood up on a flat surface and the device should also be buoyant since it is likely to be used in environments such as sewers.
Most modern grenades use the Bouchon (aka Mousetrap) igniter mechanism, which involves the safety lever preventing the striker swinging though an arc to strike the primer (a different mechanism to that used on the Mills Bomb).

 Hand grenade - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 Concussion Grenades - Point of Existence Forum
For those that dont know, a concussion grenade causes damage by explosive overpressure instead of fragmentation, and usually has a much smaller lethal range, but does a lot more damage in a enclosed environment, or in close groups.
Fragments from fragmentation grenades can disperse extremely far (up to 230m on an M67), and the effective casualty-producing radius is usualy around 15m (for the M67, it is 15m, most others are the same or very close).
So if the concussion grenade is put in, give it the same lethal radius as the grenades in BF2 currently are (or maybe even a little more), but DEFINATLY increase the lethal radius on the fragmentation grenades.

 Conc jumping - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The player can jump or fall on the explosion and be propelled further than what is possible by the basic jump.
The hand-held conc jump works by amplifing your current vertical / horizontal momentum at the time the grenade goes off, thus determining how far you jump.
There are few instances in which such extraordinary jumps are required, and are usually limited to practice maps.
