In D6 Star Wars armor protects in various degrees against physical attacks and energy attacks. Is a frag grenade an energy attack or a physical attack?

I think that though it can deliver both physical and energy (from the heat of the explosion), it delivers more physical damage than energy.

I would say Phyical too, sharpnel
However I am also sure that it can be made or even exist a "blaster flechette" grenade and this will be similar enough, but as to most grenades in the gmae I see them and I think they are actually labeled as Physical, same as slugthrowers

I agree, physical damage.

As an aside, there is mention in the EU of Proton Grenades, but no stats. In my headcanon, I treat them as Frag Grenades, but they do Energy Damage instead of Physical.
