Yes, but you donīt need to stick really close to each other for a chain reaction, considering bone sharpnel and the like...

Everyone sucks at everything. Until they don't. Not sucking is a product of time invested.

But that would probably only wound you then, and soldiers wear helmets / body armour these days.

The hypothetical is listed as hand grenade power, which is basically the exact thing modern TTP's space for.

But a human body has far more potential sharpnel. AKA bone spear

Yes, but it's not bone optimized for use as shrapnel

Well, now that you mention it, living bone IS kind of rubbery. It probably wouldnt have much penetration power

Does DF model different material values for living versus deceased bone?

How soon does the body explode? The scenario is wildly different depending on if it's on the last breath or, say, 5 minutes later. You could go even closer and say that receiving an unsurvivable wound counts as "being already dead" even if you're still showing life signs.
We can go with two different hypotheticals: Last breath, and 10 seconds later.

So if someone's head was cut off or if their brains were blown out would that immediately trigger an explosion/an explosion 10 seconds later?

What if they later rise as zombies and are subsequently re-killed?

I'm not sure vaporized bits of dead body are reanimatable. Aside from random pieces of unconnected muscle, there wouldn't be enough left to cause anything resembling movement.

An explosion the strength of a hand grenade doesn't vaporize a human body. I'm sure a clever necromancer could sew it together well enough.
