The grenade is low density and relatively low velocity. Its effective range drops dramatically if there's some wind.

Effective range against moving targets sucks as well, for the effective frag radius is certainly smaller than the distance a man can run before the grenade arrives at 500 m.

It is a niche weapon, the thermal sight and the restrictions it imposes on the hostiles are most likely the most useful things about it.
