A strong, but heavy, demolition charge explosive grenade used to injure or kill stronger hostile forces, destroy building structures such as wall, ramps, fire escapes etc. and may form a crater in grassy terrain. An agent may not be strong enough to throw such a heavy device far enough to escape its blast radius, so using detonate-on-impact may not be suitable unless it is thrown from a high elevation, onto hostiles below. The timer will allow tactical placement, or dropped from flying agents, then evacuate the immediate area. A proximity mine salted with a single High Explosive works well.

It is possible to bring down entire buildings through proper placement and timing of enough High Explosives. As a example see: [1]
