i am sure that there is some crazy magnetic bond caused by the plasma and ionized air coming into contact, therefore making it stick. you see, all particles of all matter is in constant motion. the particles of a solid barely vibrate at all, causing them to have a constant mass and volume. if the solid is heated, the particles move faster, colliding with one another causing them to bounce more violently and therefore they are able to break apart and move around each other, creating a liquid. as the material is heated this process continues until it becomes a gas. when the gas is heated (a lot) the particles begin smashing violently into each other, causing them to break up into smaller particles. these smaller particles are magnetized and really hot of course. so what happens is that the ionized air around the shielded entity becomes magnetically bonded with the plasma bieng emitted by the grenade, therefore bonding them. then i guess what happens is that the plasma outlet is not sufficient for the container to hold the massive amounts of plasma expanding inside the grenade, so it blows up, incinerating everything in it's blast radius. it is very simple and ingenious really. haha! home run for the kinetic theory of matter!
