I’m interested in the firing range, the detonation radius, and the relative safety of the service member who fired them off.
Yield was adjustable up to about 1 KT. Special operations teams were trained for this. The teams were probably a write-off, since they were instructed to stay close and make sure that the gadget wasn't tampered with and did in fact go off as expected. Then they'd be really deep in hostile territory and on everybody bad's s**t list.
Good article here:

I read over half of it now, and will read the rest later.
