Overview
A reliable military grenade that can be thrown a short distance. Deadly at close range on detonation.
Someone is crouched behind a rock at a monument, or holding the top of your stairs, and you cannot get a clean shot. An F1 takes that cover away. It goes off when you expect it to, and whoever is close when it pops is in serious trouble.
The throw is short, so it is a tool for corners, bushes and stairwells rather than open ground. Bank it off a wall into a room instead of lobbing it at a man in a field who will just step aside. Defenders on a roof like to drop them on raiders placing charges below.
For a fight it beats a beancan easily: half the gun powder and a fuse that behaves the same every time. What you pay instead is a Level 2 workbench and a few more frags. Against a base it is the wrong tool, as a door barely notices it.
Tip
An F1 rarely gets the kill on its own. It makes people move, so throw, switch back to your gun right away and shoot whoever runs out. If you have to cross open ground to get into throwing range, a smoke grenade covers the walk.
