Grenades are freaking heavy. When i tossed my two in basic it was kinda hard. The form they had you use and the weight combined made for a hard throw. No baseball toss allowed in basic.

As for the 50 foot kill with a nade. It is possible, the guy at the range said that framents could fly like 500, though they would only really wound someone after 100, 150 feet. And even at that range the shrapnel is so spred out its bad luck if you were hit.

The 25 feet is the radius. Meaning that all together the blast diameter is 50 feet. That may be where you heard the 50.
