Grenades are low precision weapons that are relatively safe to use. Guns are high precision but very difficult to use in a firefight.

If you watch Ukraine footage, soldiers barely even look where they’re shooting. They’re just trying to establish suppression over an area so that they can toss more grenades to kill people.

That’s because both sides have guns. If you aren’t fighting an armed combatant to the death. The calculus changes a lot.
