Crunching some numbers the ounces of TNT equivalent seems to check out. Supposedly an m67 grenade has the equivalent yield of about 108 grams of TNT. 8.8oz is about 246.4 grams. So this would be a grenade which is 2.5 times more powerful than today’s M67 grenade. I’m more annoyed that even in 2330, the settled systems still uses imperial measurements.
