Tactical Information
The reduction in damage and armor penetration is generally not considered worth it for the increased radius; the G-6 gains only a couple of extra meters of effective splash radius at the cost of almost half of its killing potential, making it much less useful against tougher targets. Its added shrapnel can potentially do a lot of extra damage, but that relies on any of it actually hitting anything in a spot that it might be effective.
