Black powder hand grenades are no joke. They can and will generate a lot of fragmentation. But black powder is low explosive and very weak compared to modern high explosives. We recently did extensive testing of black powder grenades and we got meager results at best. Still, they did work.

Now, let's compare how effective the primitive black powder grenade is against a modern M67 hand grenade. It contains twice as much explosive, is filled with the explosive composition B, and has a steel body instead of cast iron. Their performance is very well known and the M67 is widely used across many nations. Let's see how these two stack up against each other in fragmentation generation.
