Upon impact with the floor, has a short fuse time and then it jumps up to head level and explodes.
It exploits the fact that explosives do damage to the body part that is closest to it, so if the head is closer, you get a headshot multiplier.
Pros:
-Upon a successful hit, will most likely cause massive amounts of damage due to headshot
-Has a relatively short fuse once hit the ground (Still enough to get away)
Cons:
-Cannot cook, you can't prep the grenade to have better timing
-Fuse doesn't activate until hitting the ground, which removes any ability for timing the grenade like a normal one
Basically, you get high damage without actually increasing the damage, just making it easier to score a headshot, at the cost of removing your ability to time the grenade.
Shield regeneration bonus for Gallente Assault is about as useful as Sharpshooter for Nova Knives.

I'd so much rather actually have an actual Bouncing Betty mine. :/
Honestly, it seems a little awkward to have a design intended for a mine acting as a grenade. I know for one, it would probably do very strange things if it hit walls or landed on an angled surface.
To balance off the headshot damage likelihood, it's overall damage would have to be nerfed. Headshot grenades, timing aside, would still be pretty OP, I think.
I'd like to be your CPM1 candidate

Timing is everything with grenades, I don't think they'll be OP.
