Bringing down his left elbow to block the incoming blow from the staff while his right hand went for a grenade. The blow connected with his hard plastic elbow guard, which saved him from the lethal electrical shock of which he was unaware would have struck him if not for the insulation properties of his protectors.

Even if it was his own grenade.
Fuck. He was way too close to the blast radius. Should start running.
