The way I handle impact-fused grenades is to assume that if the firer gets
any successes, the grenade hit the target, as Marc describes. That makes
for a 10S explosion centered on someone's person -- very nasty.

However, if it's a timed grenade it will bounce and scatter per the normal
SR rules, with the firer's or thrower's successes reducing scatter.
