Direct hit with the grenade does two types of the damage - ballistic (capable of damaging specific body parts, essentially it is a big slow bullet), then explosive (only does damage to body). Ballistic damage applied at all ranges, whether grenade exploded or not.
Projectile will collide with either - ZED's hitzone or a collision cylinder.
Projectile affected by gravity.

Trivia

The M79 grenade launcher is a single-shot, shoulder-fired, break-action grenade launcher that fires a 40x46mm grenade.
Despite the common misconception M79 grenade does ballistic damage at any range, regardless if it exploded or dud.
M79 has the largest explosion radius of all launchers in game. Combined with Demolitionist's Fragmentation Rounds and Mad Bomber skills M79 grenade gets explosion radius of 8.5 x (1.5 + 0.25) = 14.875 meters.
