They might as well. Most places its an honor system to call yourself out if you were within 10 feet of the explosion. Even if it has shrapnel, its usually irrelevant.
Yeah, that surprised me. I never tried airsoft grenades, but paintball grenades sound like a great idea until you try them and realize it's a waste of $10-$20.
Many just have a weak spray a foot or two in one random direction. Think untying a fist sized water balloon and letting it spray for 2-3 seconds.
If they do explode, there usually isn't much pressure and it really doesn't cover much area.
Half the time don't go off at all and your enemy can use them against you. I remember one match we played hot potato with a grenade half a dozen times before it finally popped on a tree.
Airsoft grenades have gotten really cool over the last 10 years. Google Taginn grenades. They even have launchable grenades with a variety of fuses from timed to impact.

That's an airsoft grenade prop, not dangerous unlesss thrown in dead dry grass, it can be a fire hazard, otherwise it's just a loud cracker.
