Just as i says on the tin, i think it would be rather neat and make Frag type nades more useful to make. As the issue with OT frags is the fact that the shards will just miss, one of the few OT things that is useful (other then just being filler for cheap nades.) to put shards in is the claymore, as they concentrate the sharp in a cone.

I honestly don’t even care for OT making custom explosives, it’d be enough if they could just exactly duplicate existing explosives.
You can make “HEDP-like” (which never actually works like HEDP), but you cannot make HEDP itself. You can’t make M15 grenades, but you can make something “like” them, and that’s just a general problem I have with OT.
An actual bonafide HEDP grenade that looks like an HEDP grenade means it’s reliable. I can use it, it will work exactly like HEDP. If I hand it over to someone else they know how to use it too. This is what I want from my OT explosives. I don’t need ubermegabanger9000 that might blow up my entire screen or fizzle out at 2 tiles, I just need something reliable which I already know how it works.
Make HEDP, make AGM-I, make M15, not “like” them, but actually them. Same function, same sprites, same code. That’s what I’d like the OT to be able to do. The funny fire grenade that kills 20 marines or the special rocket that gibs marines on contact, I can go without 90% of the time.
