Apparently the frag grenades don't use gunpowder

  That’s 250x hiroshima nuke in a single grenade. Someone at Bethesda didn’t do their math…

    Or maybe it’s the equivalent of 58oz of TNT? Or the weight of the grenade itself?

      I’m not, it feels messy, like the rest of the game. Hell, I kinda want intermodal containers (The steel shipping boxes that get sent across the pacific, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intermodal_container)

      Those are measured in feet. 20/40 feet long, 8 feet wide, and 8 feet 6 inches tall.

      Hell, I kinda want to make a space trucking game where you transport them, but there’s already a few space trucking games.

    Assuming it’s 8.8 oz of antimatter. If it’s equally split between matter and antimatter, half it, so 125x hiroshima.

      I don’t know… if we assume 8.8oz total for matter and antimatter together. All of that mass will be annihilated and converted into energy. I calculate that would yield 22,421,767,037 MJ, let’s say 22,000 TJ. According to wikipedia, Little Boy had a 63 TJ yield, so this grenade is around 350 times that.

      If it was 8.8 ounces of antimatter, it would combine with 8.8 ounces of normal matter to convert a total of 17.6 ounces of mass into energy. That would result in like 700 Hiroshima’s total yield.

    It would be funny to have an item in a game like this that the player thinks is a regular grenade but when using it they realize it wipes out the planet.

  So presumably the minimum safe distance is the next planet?

  Behold my new political ideology: mutually-assured-destructionism (or MADness)

  Every person gets one of these grenades with a deadman switch and society is magically perfect because everyone could level a country at any time they like, so no one misbehaves.

    I can’t see a single flaw here.

  And yet they still feel like they barely pack a punch.

  My HANDGUN does more damage than a grenade.

    I just use 'em to either launch my enemies on low-grav planets, or to make the AI leave cover if I can’t be arsed to flush 'em out myself.

  I thought it said “Formal Use Only” and wondered why they needed that warning. I mean, all warning signs have a story haha
