Fair enough. In this case, it didn't get through the windshield. This is the guy who should have brought a rock. Yeah. Violet Gibson was right. You need to get through the windshield. The grenade bounced a few meters away and exploded. Mussolini's bodyguards caught up with Gino and beat the shit out of him. That sounds about right, yeah.
