Like Joe said, grenades cause a lot of damage. I beleive the M19 had a blast radius of 8 meters. Just imagine a little tin can filled with ball bearings and composition B (C4 is today's equivalent). Big boom with lots of metal flyin out at ya. The potato masher wasnt nearly as powerful (from what I've read). It's blast was only around 6 meters and the shrapnel factor wasnt nearly as high (Shrapnel to explosion count). So in fact, the grenades should be MORE powerful if y ask me.
