I'm surprised that toxic grenades in particular are seeing so much use. I'll adjust the other grenades accordingly.

A cover bonus for smoke is possible.

Yeah, the toxic grenades have always been a BW favorite. Back when all the Conflict servers we up you would see those flung everywhere. It was either toxin grenades, pineapple spam, or FP9A5 jihad tactics.

I've been reading this thread though, and I've decided to add a lightly explosive White Phosphorous rifle grenade to one of the weapons. It should compliment its parent weapon well as a defensive or light offensive attachment.

Excellent. That recalls the grenade launcher on the M-75 "Guardian" machinegun from Soldier of Fortune.

One reason T10 is so popular is because it can be used as a quick mine and a fence. Alas, many people do not realize that you can press K, wait about 3 seconds and create an actual fence by tossing the grenade as far as possible. Since the pin is out, the gas empties out while the grenade is airborne, creating a "string" of toxic gas. This is excellent for narrow hallways.

I heard y'all like smoke grenades so I stuck some smoke grenades in yo rifle grenades. ;B

These things make quick smoke cover, can be loaded and launched fairly quickly, do a decent amount of damage, and cause significant blur.

Why is there a shell casing coming out when you're firing what appears to be an RPG?

That's the first stage of what is essentially a two-stage rifle grenade. It also acts as a handle for players who want to throw it or melee with it.
