# Grenades and Thrown Explosives *The Modern Armory, Firearms, Explosives, and Ammunition for Exodus NDS, 1939 to Today. Source: https://exodusnds.com/sourcebooks/modern-armory/grenades-and-thrown-explosives* Explosives thrown by hand. Each is used once. Readying one, which includes pulling a pin or lighting a fuse, is a maneuver; throwing it is the attack. **Range is Short** for nearly everything. The attack is made against the target as normal, at Easy difficulty at Short range. **Blast** is the point of the family: spend 2 Boons to deal the Blast damage to everyone Engaged with the target. When the throw fails, spend 3 Boons from the failed check to apply the Blast damage to the target and everyone Engaged with it. **A Calamity on the throw** may be spent by the GM to land the grenade Engaged with the thrower or an ally. **Skill:** Light Ranged. A Universe may substitute Athletics. ##### Fragmentation Grenade Mk 2 pineapple, M67, F1, Mills bomb
