I am so confused, I thought grenades did more damage. Or is it that those people don't know they are dead yet?
It's one of those things that aren't portrayed well in media, but humans can generally operate near 100% for a few minutes even with cataclysmic damage to their body, as long as the heart and nervous system aren't damaged.
You see it a lot in these kinds of videos. You can bet that they are full of shrapnel. Basically hundreds of small incisions which will cause bleeding, and likely bleeding out over time if not treated.
