Seeing as the how shadow run system works. The explosive force is based on the weight of the explosive.

Now why on the sixth world does a .4 kilo hand grenade have an explosive force = to that of a .1 kilogram mini grenade?
I mean I understand how the game mechanic works, but shouldn’t a .4 kilogram explosive have a wee bit more explosive force that a .1 kilogram explosive.
And I think that the excuse of it has more metal shrapnel is relay stupid.
