Now you got me curious: what is the lethal blast radius of a typical hand grenade, and what was the distance to throw one (before and after the “equality” in the military requirements)?

The average Soldier can throw the M67 grenade 35 meters. The effective casualty producing radius is 15 meters and killing radius is 5 meters.
