Well from want I've read I think the user flicks the selector to the 
desired setting and points and shoots., there are a few settings. A
point 
detonation setting (the default), the grenade goes off when it hit's 
something. A delayed point detonation system, designed to penetrate 
(something like a car door) before detonating. A setting for lobbing the

grenade in through windows, you  lase the wall, aim at the window and
the 
grenade detonates in the middle of the room (I suppose there's a set 
distance added to the range on this setting). Also the air burst setting
as 
well :).

But John has a point, who'd want to such a complicated task to carry out
;) 
I mean just imagine set the selector to the required setting, lase the 
target and fire......Who'd be able to manage that? Maybe tank gunners?
