Grenade
From the Metal Gear Wiki
A Grenade is an explosive device that comes in several forms.
[edit] Types
- Fragmentation Grenade (M67 in MGS2, RGD-5 in MGS3) - Heavily damages anyone nearby, or kills them if they are too close when it goes off. In MGS they were significantly effective with a kill radius of two feet with an additional concussion radius of one more foot. In MGS2 they were not very effective with a circular kill radius of about two feet but abscent of a concussion radius. In MGS3 they were staunchly more effective with a kill radius of about six feet when the target was standing upright, however when the target was prone, the kill radius was about two feet.
- White Phosphorous (WP) Grenade - Incendiary grenade causes the immediate area to catch fire. Can cause serious burns to anyone unfortunate enough to be caught in its blast.
- Stun Grenade (XM82) - Causes temporary blindness and deafness and disrupts balance. Can effectively stun a room full of guards without harming them.
- Smoke Grenade - Creates a smokescreen that Snake can use to escape from the enemy. It also acts as a form of tear-gas which can make attack dogs lose Snake's scent.
- Chaff Grenade - Temporarily disrupts and disables electronic equipment, such as Surveillance Cameras, but is a double-edged sword as it also stops the Soliton Radar from working. While this grenade does not actually exist in the real world, a form of chaff which confuses enemy radar is used commonly by fighter aircraft to confuse radar systems.
- LNG - Does small amounts of damage and freezes enemy weapons. Only usable by Python in Portable Ops.
