The official GURPS stats for the 40x46mmSR round shows 30 yards minimum range.
Real round DO have an arming distance. It's a bit shorter than 30 yards.
M381 HE has an arming distance of JUST 3 yards. The later M406 arms at 15 yards.
They both do 4d-1 [2d] cr ex.
The person standing in the hex with the boom takes the listed damage.
Everyone in dice x 2 yards away can take some too. In this case, 8 yards.
So firing at minimum range of 3 yards with an M381 can be dangerous.
But you divide the damage by 3x the distance in yards, so... Divide by 9 at minimum range.
Maximum damage from the blast is 23. Dividing by 9 and rounding down does 2 to our grenadier. On average, though, just a single point will come back.
Fragmentation goes out 5x dice yards. In this case [2d] so out to 10 yards. The "skill" of the fragments is 15 and normal speed/range penalties are applied for distance. Fragmentation has an effective Rcl of 3.
3 yards is -1 for range for a "skill" of 14. On average that will give two 2d cutting hits.
That's less good than the blast with an average of 21 points done after modifiers. That will kill the average person.
