Subject: Staging grenades

I heard somewhere ( I do not remember where ) that successes in a throwing
skill test, when throwing a grenade, go BOTH to reducing scatter ( 1 success=
1meter less ) AND to staging the damage code of the grenade as per normal
firearms rules.
That is to say a sam gaining three successes with your standard, let's say,
10M grenade gets 3 meters closer to his target AND stages the damage of the
grenade to 10S.

I'd never heard this before, nor played it that way. . .
Could anyone enlighten me on whether or not this is rule or rumor, I am
currently without my SRII book. . .
