Because it is ok to kill everyone in a room with 1 entire clip of ex-ex ammo but God forbid they throw two grenades inside?
I would agree that if by anything, the scatter rules are there to "protect" the players then the NPC's and yes, Shadowrun is a gritty game and violence is most of the time the answer (or the means) for everything, but it is better give the players a chance to escape instead of simply saying: "Rocks fall, everybody dies"
Police response to killing four people with an Uzi is substantially different than the response to killing the same four people with a grenade. Ask any cop in the world. Remember, if the players aren't throwing grenades, who's throwing them back? Do average cops and secd guards in your game have grenades? If so, I think I should remind you again: SR. Not Rambo.

I take it you guys don't use chunky salsa at your table?
Most certainly do. Explosions kill people. Try to avoid situations where explosions are the likely result.

And lobbing a 1 pound baseball sized object though a 6 foot by 6 foot opening is really that difficult?
It shouldn't be... but the game rules render it significantly more problematic than it should be.
