Throw Down the Bomblet

When it comes to Fiction, nearly every weapon can be found as a weapon. They can range from the wildly improbable or impractical to the mundane. Somewhere in between these lie those who use thrown explosives and incendiaries as a weapon of choice. A person who wields grenades as a weapon of choice will frequently be portrayed as having poor impulse control. They may feel about explosions the same way a Pyromaniac feels about fire. As such, this trope frequently overlaps with Mad Bomber. They may also have a "fiery" or carefree personality. Oddly, there are a small number of grenadiers who are coldly logical and controlled in temperament, perhaps to contrast their fiery and out-of-control weapons, and are often seen remarking that someone less disiplined wouldn't last long using it. Usually, they favor Grenade Tag for the calculated subterfuge. In reality, grenades and their ilk are dangerous, unpredictable weapons that are reserved for specific situations where they aren't likely to cause collateral damage. However, in fictionland, they can frequently be thrown at any enemy, regardless of range or surroundings, without fear of injury to oneself or one's allies.note This trope will usually only show up in settings that have sufficient technology for thrown explosives to exist, although this isn't always the case. This trope always results in Stuff Blowing Up and may be PG Explosives. See Molotov Cocktail for one specific type of weapon this person might use. See also Hey, Catch! and Catch and Return. If the explosives come from superpowers instead of mundane objects, it's Having a Blast. Grenade Spam is the equivalent for video game mechanics.
