  You are seemingly correct:

  According to the British War Office, the stielhandgranate had a throwing distance of up to 27m while standing, compared to the 35m distance of the M67. Which weighs 30% less and take up 75% less space lengthwise.

    I would assume the ideal design for distance would be shaped somewhat like a glider.

    Why not an American football shape, but grenade sized?
