At least one incarnation of the Star Trek RPG had a "phaser grenade" that could be set to stun, and in said setting was eminently reusable...
I play a gunsel/mech-jock in our current Champions campaign, and the character has a Multipower to represent the various guns she carries (she can only use one at a time, after all.) This includes Grenades, of course, and I forgot to add the "Charges" (read "Limited Ammunition") disad to the power when I wrote up the character... so she actually does have infinte grenades. --
