With a 5m lethal radius that just doesn't happen. It's supposed to be a dual purpose HE round... but really, it's just like lobbing F1 grenades a bit further. The best effect they have is a supresive effect on the enemy, not particularly killing them.

Then my answer is changed to just combat engineer. Sucks digging trenches, but you get to use C4.

I chose the CQB option since that is, in an infantry capacity what I was trained to be the best at.

i went with MG support. It's what I do with my tactical paintball team, and in my opinion laying down a good solid base of fire does morale good.
