Every now and then we'd run into guys that had killed a bunch of IP's and had taken their shit, but it wasn't anything we couldn't compensate for. Most of the time they ran around in black pajamas or jeans and a t-shirt with some old deuce gear to carry magazines. I've never had a grenade go off near me, except for when I was behind cover; you can feel the shockwave travel through your body. Unless they shatter the bone structure or hit at an angle, or the mouth or nose, they usually only kinda snarl up the flesh around the impact site; exit wounds are usually pretty harsh with the 5.56mm, 7.62mm usually just blows right through.
