this is a pretty short question: I have a group of runners that are
intent on using grenade launchers to blast away all opposition, and as a GM,
my sense of balance is disturbed--the rules for if launched minis go off on
contact are vague, but SR3 seems to suggest that they explode on impact. I
don't want to play the escalation game with them. any suggestions to
dissuade them from this?

perhaps house-rule it, and assign a lesser damage code to the
minigrenades, given that they're "mini"? cause dire consequences to fall
upon them for using such a conspicuous, attention-grabbing weapon? or use
the setting, Bug City, as a keep-away device?

advice appreciated, thanks,
