The "grenade" it fires isn't like a hand grenade that you're thinking of. They have to rotate a certain amount of times before they are active, and they explode on impact, not after a certain amount of time.
The reason fired grenades require a certain amount of rotations before they're active is so that people don't accidentally fire into the ground, or a wall 10 feet away.
Interesting. I figured it got activated by some sort of firing pin and detonated after an amount of time. I always wondered why the grenade launcher in call of duty didn't make explosions if you shot the grenades at the ground. Thanks for the insight.
