In a very loose sense, Artistic License – Physics for the ability of a grenade to instantly freeze something, and then I assume it instantly thaws and works perfectly after X seconds. I would note that team Rainbow's gear is utterly top-of-the-line and might be ruggedized against the ice grenades.
Ice grenades in general tend to be Instant Ice: Just Add Cold!.
Pretty much what the title says. Is there a trope similar to "Harmless Freezing", but not intended for living people? Or can it also be applied to when the targets are inanimate objects?
The way the trope is described, it only applies to characters who get frozen solid, but suffer almost no ill effects after being freed. However, Rainbow Six Siege recently introduced a new character with "ice grenades" that temporarily freeze objects solid and stop them from working. These grenades affect other characters differently (i.e. they're not frozen when they get hit).
