Hand Grenade
Hand Grenade is Snake's Standard Special Move. Pressing and holding the special move button once will cause Snake to pull out the pin, depressing it will cause him to throw it. The distance that the grenade is thrown can be controlled by pressing forward, backward, or pressing no direction at all. A maximum of two grenades per Snake can be thrown, no more can be produced until one of them explodes.
Unlike Link's bomb, it does not explode on contact and the enemy can grab it before it explodes. The grenade can be "cooked" by holding B (as it is thrown when B is released) to reduce the time between the moment it's thrown and the moment it detonates.
Snake can cause the enemy to drop the grenade if he has a second grenade out, and then shields or rolls.
Origin
Hand grenades have always been a staple offensive tool the Metal Gear series. They can easily be found in lockers, store rooms, or obtained from enemy soldiers.
