I'm almost positive there's no way to do that. If there is, it'll be complicated.

Like most things.

You can't do what you want, per se. An option would be with an orbital strike weapon (which is limited to only working outside). You might be able to add an explosionexpire to the grenade-beacon. For the explosionexpire you'd create a particle effect that looked like scattering grenades, then have the orbital strike ordnance be invisible and make only the explosion of the ordnance visible.
That's not an ideal workaround, in my opinion, but it's about the closest I think you can really get. I'd just suggest thinking up some other weapon for your unit.

Just thought of something. Could you just make a large damage radius with an effect that looks like a lot of small explosions?

you can make a cannon that fires a bunch of grenades and has grenade animations but not that

When the GT team for the Renegade Squadron was pondering this problem, we came to the conclusion it was impossible because of a problem that we've had with a lot of these great weapon ideas: you can't initiate an ordnance from an explosion. So in concept, its impossible. You might be able to find a cheap workaround like Mav suggested.
