(As many of you probably already know, this gernade
can be programmed to explode at a specific point in space.
What this means is that a soldier can clear a corner by launching
a gernade where enemies are spotted through a spyglass etc.
[a spyglass is the british term for a infra red scope] and the
gernade being programmed to explode right around the corner,
in the air, causing maximum damage.)

Steyr Aug, M-4, and the H&K G36.
