How to destroy cocoons?

[Nino_Chaosdrache]

I already tried multiple times to destroy a cocoon, but every time it was just a big waste of ammo and the new bio weapons hatched anyway. I throw grenades at them, I emptied multiple magazines of my assault rifle into it and also used all six grenades of the grenade launcher, but every time the cocoon was still intact and the BOW hatched. So how am I supposed to destroy them?

You can't. You have to wait for them to "hatch", THEN kill the BOW.

Weak against electricty. Sherry's stunrod does the job.
I wouldn't recommend destroying active chrysalids (as in you have 10-20 seconds to destroy), instead go for those that are rather triggered by an event.
Chrysalid's HP is determined by the difficulty.

you can destroy only some cocoons,usually beaten enemies that become chrysalids

Like when Chris and Piers fight those 3 napads, you can only destroy the 2 cocoons on the sides. The cocoon in the middle can't be destroyed since you have to fight at least 1 napad.
