The [[UNSC]]-issued '''M9 High-Explosive Dual-Purpose Grenade''' (abbreviated '''M9 HE-DP Grenade'''), also known as the '''Fragmentation Grenade''', '''Frag Grenade''', or simply '''Frag''', functions in a manner very similar to contemporary hand grenades. When thrown, a small explosion bursts the grenade's shell open and sends many small metal fragments flying at high speed, causing damage to [[Energy shields]], [[armor]], and unprotected personnel in a nine meter (30ft) radius. In ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'' and ''[[Halo 2]]'', four of these grenades may be carried at a time. This was reduced to two in ''[[Halo 3]]'' due to the presence of four grenade types but increased to three in [[Halo 3:ODST]] possibly for balance reasons. It is a good grenade for clearing rooms as it does not stick to walls. | The [[UNSC]]-issued '''M9 High-Explosive Dual-Purpose Grenade''' (abbreviated '''M9 HE-DP Grenade'''), also known as the '''Fragmentation Grenade''', '''Frag Grenade''', or simply '''Frag''', functions in a manner very similar to contemporary hand grenades.
