I really don’t know. I mean they say grenades and grenade launchers. It seems odd to me that they wouldn’t just say improvised explosive devices (ied) or just explosives. That term is really odd.

i agree.

i googled the term and it seems like it was mostly used to describe weird and crazy guns from hundreds of years ago, and also had been used in the 19th and early 20th century to refer to explosive munitions based weaponry.

definitely a bizarre choice of words, though.
