This may have already been said, but:
Both SR2 and SR3 assert that "Minigrenades come in offensive, defensive,
and concussion versions, delievering the same effects as their larger
brothers" (see p. 283 SR3, and p. 242 SR2).
I always assumed that an air-timed grenade would explode on contact,
thereby negating the need for a scatter roll.

I was watching a dodgy police show [Stingers] the other day, and in the
'story' a group of armed robbers have in their possession a rocket
launcher. They were using the launcher in their crimes to intimidate, which
it did. The police kept this very quiet because they did not want to get
the public panicing about armed robbers with military hardware. They also
wanted the armed robbers *bad*.
While the Sixth World is a lot more violent than ours (well, maybe not)
Runners running around with military hardware are more likely to be
targeted for special police operations and they're less likely to know that
they are.

I don't have the Lone Star Sourcebook, so the above may have already been
mentioned in that.
