#3 Like the scalable yield nuclear warhead, only this scales up. Interesting.

Remember the German bundled stick grenades ? M24s were they ?

#4 Those look extremely unwieldy and likely hard to throw. But maybe toss into room. Dunno.

#5 May not be able to throw a stacked one well, but it would do wonders on the occupants of a bunker or tank when shoved down a vent shaft. In 2013 a Syrian Anti-Assad fighter disabled a T-72 when he snuck up and rolled a grenade down the tank barrel. Think of what would happen with a 3 grenade stack on the T-72.

#6 Use C-4 explosive block plus detonator. Now send me the money for developing a modular concussion "grenade". If it need a casing I can go down to the local store and pack the C-4 in plastic coffee cups for ease of handling (use the 44-oz size for really big rooms).

#7 Right. Need a big blast you use the compound pack with detonator. Need an even bigger blast, you need to be so far away you might as well call in a drone strike.
