Grenades exploding before 3 seconds

Maintaining my grenade chef reputation, I found out that grenades are exploding before exactly 3 seconds
Here's video proof:

Notice that the player Shakal pulls the trigger after 15:52, and it explodes at 15:54. I also tried to time nades in my server using my cellphone stopwatch, and I was getting 2,7 in average.

I've got three theories:
1. Ping
2. Frameskips
3. Stopwatch and thumb delay

Well the grenade and the bullet shot from the magnum happened at the exact same time so im confused. Either yes, the grenade did explode before 3 seconds or the magnum shot it at the last second (beacuse we all know that the magnum can shoot trough metal objects).

While we say in the tutorial "the grenade has a 3 second fuse." it's actually somewhere around 2.6 ~ 2.7 seconds but that doesn't sound as good in the tutorial. No bug here. I will let Hjarpe decide if the tutorial text should be rephrased.

Oops, I always thought the timer was exactly 3 seconds. Rather than change the familiar timing value I've changed the tutorial text to "two and a half seconds".
