Salute!
Oh yeah, dispensed thousands of the suckers during my tours in SEA.
Our problem then was the early versions that had submunitions which had poor fuzing and would also hang up in trees/bushes. Then, the clever Vee would collect the things and make IED's. We solved most of the problem with "spin-armed" fusing devices that needed to spin up to "x" RPM, and then exploded when slowong down below "x" RPM. Not only was it almost impossible to make a booby trap, but the things would not exploded until passing thru the trees/bushes. I liked them for trucks on the Trail as they would bouce onto and uder the trucks before exploding. Got 5 on one pass in early 1968.
The concern for collateral casualties is valid, and it's also a concern for friendly troops that move onto the battle field shortly after the enemy has "dispersed". Personally, I liked nape better for personnel, but you have to get close be be accurate, and that's not conducive to your health.
Just thots from an old warrior.
Gums....
