“GLI-F4 Grenade. 10 grams of CS. 25 grams of TNT.”

In God’s Name, why? You don’t need that much explosive to disperse CS. Our ‘explosive’ CS grenades had just enough bang (more of a ‘pop’, really) to break the plastic container, which was actually rather fragile. You could break it and spread the CS powder just by dropping it, as I found out by accident while inventorying my Company’s riot control supplies. (Cleared the entire Armory!) If you are aiming for the Flash-Bang effect, you don’t need the CS. You really don’t want the CS; it is invisible, incapacitating and persistent, and would keep you out of the effected area, so you couldn’t occupy the area you just cleared.
