    a grenade isn’t that bad, as long as there’s something like a wall between you and the shrapnel right?

      Depends on the wall. Solid concrete, safe. Residential interior wall made of plaster, not safe. Brick wall, safe. Near a window, not 100% safe. Do you know the composition of a wall? Chances are no, so remove ass from the area.

      They have an injury radius of about 50m, so 100m of free air is safe.

        In the case of a school, painted cinder block walls usually (in the US; why yes, our schools do resemble prisons)

          A lot of schools have exterior walls that are concrete filled in the US, especially true in tornado and hurricane areas. Interior, I think they went to concrete filled for most of them but you would have to check building codes when the structure was made.

          A hollow core cinder block wall should be adequate protection from a grenade.
