Breaching grenade

The Merr-Sonn breaching grenade was an explosive weapon used to blow open sealed doors from a distance, rather than expose a soldier to enemy return-fire by placing a charge directly on the surface to be breached. The breaching grenade came as an mountable attachment to easily turn any standard blaster rifle, such as the DC-17 into a grenade launcher. Clone commando RC-1136 used a Merr-Sonn breaching grenade to allow Omega and Delta squads to enter a civilian home in Hadde to locate rebels responsible for launching a missle at the Republic base from within the city.
