Oh, right, the Soldier has a couple of those, too. They've just been mentally off-limits, because they only have three, and nothing has been enough of an emergency to consider using one. This technically isn't, either, but if Rosinante wants to use his, he can absolutely use his.
The Soldier can also grab and hurl, which they use the flesh arm to do, while punching a few more back with the metal arm, which hopefully is doing a little more damage than the knife and bullet did. Kicking with steel-toed boots might not do a lot of good in stopping the little rock-monsters, but it doesn't hurt as much as it could, and should at least give them both some room to roll back and out of the way of whatever explosion is coming next.
There's already another plan forming up in the back of their brain, in case the grenade doesn't do as much as they want it to. But let's try this first. He leaps free at last with maybe more spring than most humans can manage, lands clear, and spins to face whatever Rosinante's grenade might do.
