Haslanti Fire Grenades & Firedust Grenades

[Forn Clakes]

The stats for these are actually quite different for a similar effect.  I'm just trying to figure out why so I can make sense of the damned things:


Haslanti fire grenades are at -2 accuracy, 3L damage with a range of 10 yards if thrown yet 60 yards if dropped from an air ship or glider, whereas firedust grenades deal 9L damage with no accuracy modifier and a range of 10 yards.  


Now, the way I see this is that the Haslanti fire grenades are desinged to spread a blanket of flame over a compound and number of troops, whereas firedust grenades explode on contact against a single individual.


Would this be sound reasoning behind the two similar items?


Any other thoughts would also be handy, cheers.

That makes sense to me, it is like the difference between a handmade "bomb" and a military grade explosive...

I don't think Haslanti fire grenades even really explode at all.  They seem to just be firepots.  Ceramic "bombs" filled with flammable contents.  More like the difference between a Molotov cocktail (fun, likely to attract local authorities) and a pipe bomb (harder to make, not as much fun, and will attract Federal attention).

Yeah, that's what I thought, just needed some confirmation.
