This would be the results, and the firing types, I get with flechette grenades in a launcher:



While damnably amusing... not exactly accurate. :)

So what's the problem ? Flechette grenades DO suffer from a rather wide spread (maybe a bit too wide though...).

Erm? Flechette ammo, you wanted to say. The exploding flechette grenade surely does not produce 100 new flechette grenades, but just 100 flechettes, don't it?

When I fire a 3 round burst, I don't usually expect to fire off 100 grenades, especially when they just decide to lie around the screen.  Bomb Squad!  We gots a job for ya!

I meant "flechette rounds for grenade launchers", of course ! :)

I don't understand where you're going with this.

That's okay... Zenerka did.  

Short form:  A flechette grenade, which doesn't act like a regular grenade, should be firing flechette rounds, not a full flechette grenade as the image for each computed 'flechette' leaving trash on the screen.  I don't think it's computing the full grenade damage per flechette, but it's an indicator that the grenade type needed to be reviewed.
