To kill people on the enemy team.
Hand grenades, whether it be WWI or present day are all used for the same purpose. - Causing injury( not necessarily death). As I understand it, this weapon was used to slow advancing troops by maiming them. If a unit was (un)fortunate to have one explode among them it is possible to disable many soldiers with a single grenade, immobilizing the unit. Injuries would vary from the distance you were from the detonation. The closer you were the more damage, but even at a short distance shrapnel would still cause injuries- some serious.
