Information from the source code

In short

• items have health and are damaged only with explosions,
• item health is viewable by pressing LEFT ALT in inventory screen,
• item health does not affect its efficiency,
• only prime-able items detonate upon destruction,
• items' location on a soldier affects damage reduction (soldier's armour does not matter).

Back pack is the safest place to carry items (only 17% damage penetrate it). Items in hands suffer 30% of damage. Items on the ground of level one suffer 100% of damage. Items lying on the ground on any other level suffer zero % of damage due to bug.
