That sounds right. But I'm disappointed they didn't continue the stick grenade effectiveness further, as I suspect it would show the stick grenade effectiveness dropped more rapidly than the Mills. So under 10 feet the stick was more dangerous than the Mills, and over 10 feet the Mills more dangerous than the stick. Which is what you'd expect in a comparison of an offensive and defensive grenade.
