Frag grenades could've backfired on them though, since the shrapnel could easily end up flying in their direction. With no cover and nothing to protect them, they would've died.

But that leads to another problem: We've seen that they have the Tech to create barriers strong enough to stop even an adult Nevermore. Weiss herself has used them multiple times and since Amity also has one the size of the stadium, it's nothing new.

So why the hell do these common soldiers, and especially the AKs, have no such thing? Not even a small barrier shield like Halo's Jackals. Or hell, just a normal steel shield, period. If a 14 year old can make a sniperscythe bigger than herself then the world's most advanced Kingdom with the biggest/only standing army can make a freaking shield for the soldiers.

But noooooo, that's too expensive apparently, just send them to battle with no protection whatsoever aside from their useless armor.
