Although the GL used in Ren isn't a M79, the maximum range isn't my problem. It's the damage. If I send a HE grenade to give you a lap dance, you should be dead.

It would be understandable for elite characters to not die (they're elite), but the HE grenades should at least do significant damage to a enemy target even if a direct hit, or a inaccurate one. At close ranges pinpoint accuracy is almost impossible. One ends up relying on splash damage which is nobody's best friend.
