Plasma Grenade

A Plasma Grenade (プラズマグレネード) is one of the types of grenades in Gun Gale Online.

Description
A plasma grenade is a ball-shaped, metal device. Once the grenade has been activated, one part of the grenade periodically flashes in red and creates a beeping sound. Once the timer expires, the grenade simultaneously causes both a regular explosion and an electrical discharge. The explosion deals direct damage to surrounding players, while the electrical discharge stuns the players that manage to survive the explosion. The explosion at point blank range is powerful enough to instantly kill even a heavily armed player.

Background
Plasma grenades are considered to be cheap and effective tools, however, as all such items, they do have an element of danger. If another player manages to shoot a grenade, it will cause the grenade to detonate and kill the person carrying it.

Some players use the grenade for an underhanded trick, called Gift Grenade (お土産グレネード), where a losing player uses a grenade to kill both themselves and their opponent.
