The grenade launcher is an extremely powerful weapon and is capable of killing most enemies with a single round, however this weapon varies greatly from one game to the next. In Tomb Raider II, the grenades, loaded one by one, travel up to about 25 meters and explode on impact with anything. The (apparently) drum-fed version in TR3 must still be single-loaded, and the grenades bounce around at very close range before detonating after a few seconds, or immediately upon contact with an enemy. As such, rounds can be shot into tight spaces and downhill, damaging enemies not directly in Lara's line of fire. The launcher in TR4 is similar but has three different ammo types. Normal ammo is akin to the rounds from TR3; Super ammo creates an initial explosion plus several secondary explosions and can clear a small room with a single round. Flash ammo is non-lethal and only blinds any nearby human enemies while you escape or kill them with another weapon. It will not harm friendlies.
Note that in the Playstation version of The Last Revelation, Lara's body can detonate and take damage from her own grenades, though it will be significantly less damage than any enemies that happen to be near. PC gamers do not have this problem.
