What type of launcher and grenade?

Some set off a fuse after it’s fired similarly to a bullet. It goes off like a regular grenade.

Some have trigger tips, so when it’s activated and then smashes into something it’s like pressing the boom button.

Some are smart and can have the fuse be controlled to detonate at adjustable times or when impacting. These can be set to go off distance as well, so you could make it explode just as it enters a window to impact people taking cover. No more throwing the grenade back or jumping on it.
