That sounds like a scene from Saving Private Ryan.
However a Navy Corpsman or Soldier maybe a Marine on Okinawa did exactly that and earned the Medal of Honor.
I must say those rounds, were unstable, had a high dud rate and less range than the newer rounds that we were getting in the early/mid 90s. There was something else about the fuze on those that could be set but you didn't like to as it caused issues, and they were less stable thus more dangerous to the user.
Now if someone were using the WOJO rounds, those I beleive could probably be used as a large grenade, again though the whole stability of the round, I mean, the quality control in a T2K world would be less than stringent as to the workmanship, materials and quantities.
