40x46mm LV Grenade

40mm low-velocity rounds, originally designed for M79 grenade launcher and later became ubiquitous ammo for underbarrel launchers. While its value as a small-unit support weapon was never disputed, actual performance may vary. With less-than-lethal munitions, they also see widespread antiriot use.


 * M381: Original HE grenade, loaded with 32 g of Composition B in hollow steel ball warhead assembly. Features both negligible blast effects and lackluster fragmentation.
 * M386: Improved grenade with longer (up to 27 meters) arming distance, as opposed to 2-3 meters of M381.
 * M441: For all practical purposes identical to M381.
 * M406: For all practical purposes identical to M386.


 * M397: Jump-up HE grenade, loaded with 32 g of Octol (HMX). Upon impact, the fuze firing pin is driven into the detonator to explode the separation charge. The separation charge ejects the high explosive assembly upward from the rear of the projectile and simultaneously ignites the delay charge. Detonation and fragmentation of the HE ball thus occurs at approximately 5 feet above the ground impact point.
 * M433: HEDP grenade loaded with 45 g of Composition B, with copper cone liner. Warhead assembly has a thin wire wrapping that bursts into a dense fragmentation pattern, and shaped charge can penetrate up to 50mm of steel armor.
 * M433E1: Improved HEDP grenade with increased (up to 76mm) penetration.
 * M576: Buckshot cartridge intended for use in counter-insurgency and conventional operations in jungle environments.
 * M583/M583A1: Signal flare round, white.
 * M661: Signal flare round, green.
 * M662: Signal flare round, red.
 * XM695: Signal flare round, orange.
 * M651: CS riot control cartridge.
 * M674: Second-generation CS grenade.
 * M308-2: Obscure incendiary round filled with napalm.
 * M1060: US Thermobaric grenade build on existing 40mm ammunition components. The 40mm 550 fuze, the M195 cartridge case and a modified version of the M583 projectile body was used along with a YJ-05 thermobaric mix.
 * ARGES HE-FRAG: High-fragmentation grenade, uses a fragmentation sleeve filled with approximately 1,000 steel balls.
 * C149: Canadian high-fragmentation grenade based on ARGES design. Upon target impact, the grenade detonates and releases 1,000 2-mm steel balls at high velocity. It also contains a self-destruct fuze.
 * DM12: German HEDP grenade with base fuse and improved liner design. Features very high penetration (90mm of steel armor).
 * DM12A1: Improved version.
 * NGZN INC: Polish incendiary grenade with thermite-based charge.
 * M99 HEDP: Serbian HEDP grenade, loaded with 48 grams of RDX, rated to penetrate no less than 50mm of steel armor.
 * M05 Flechette: Serbian 50-piece flechette cartridge.
 * M04 CAN: Serbian 24-piece buckshot cartridge.
 * L70: Buckshot cartridge with tungsten pellets.
 * MEI Ogre: Improved version of US-issued HE grenades with enhanced fuze and increased velocity.
 * MEI Ogre HEDP: Improved M443 HEDP with enhanced fuze and increased velocity.
 * MEI Hellhound: Enhanced grenade with large warhead assembly, containing 88 grams of Composition A5 and producing more fragmentation. HEDP version can penetrate about 70mm of steel armor.
 * MEI Mercury: Medium-range version of Hellhound. Due to higher velocity, grenade can reach up to 800 meters.
 * MEI Draco: Common explosive is replaced with enhanced blast compostion. As a result, grenade is retaining fragmentation patern and some armor-penetration abilities (50-60mm of steel armor), but main advantage is rather massive HE damage.
 * MEI Palehound: "Smoke" grenade with White Phosphorous charge in large warhead assembly.
 * MEI SolarFlare: Very bright signal flare round.
 * RM HE/DP 92: Austrian High-fragmentation dual-purpose grenade, uses a fragmentation sleeve filled with approximately 1,000 steel balls. This is placed between the wall of the projectile body and a `tamping sleeve' which surrounds the high-explosive filler. The object of the tamping sleeve is to ensure a build-up and sudden release of energy, so that the fragments are dispersed at a high velocity and in a controlled pattern. HE charge itself is rather weak - only 25 g of RDX, but it penetrate no less than 40mm of steel armor.
 * RM HE/HL 93: Austrian anti-armor grenade with improved shaped charge, penetrating no less than 60mm of steel armor.
 * RM HEDP/PD: Austrain HEDP grenade combining fragmentation sleeve with small shaped charge. Due to even lower explosive content (20 g of RDX) penetration is rather weak too (about 20mm of steel armor).
 * S481: Extended range HEDP grenade from Singapore. Other tham 600 m reach, rather unremarkable round.
 * S482: 600m-range HE grenade.
 * ST Kinetics HEDP: Enhanced HEDP grenade with airburst option and 400 tungsten balls fragmentation payload.
 * SA HEHC: South African issued HEDP grenade with penetration no less than 55mm of steel armor.
 * XM1166: Proposed HEDP grenade with longer range, airburst ability and heavy fragmentation able to defeat NIJ-III armor.
 * XM1168: Proposed nextgen flechette cartridge for CQC.
 * XM1235: Proposed grenade emitting non-nuclear electromagnetic pulse. Expect from anything electrical in the radius to be knocked out of action.
 * XM1244: Proposed guided fragmentation grenade.
 * XM1530: Proposed 3rd generation nerve gas grenade.
 * XM574A1: Improved, modern White Phosphorous grenade.
 * XM576E2: Experimental buckshot cartridge with 27 pellets loaded.
 * RUAG Starblast: Swiss high explosive-incendiary grenade loaded with "3rd generation highly-energetic thermobaric composition". Resulting blast is rather... massive, to put it mildly.
 * Airfoil: Long-range tubular round, based on Flatau patent.
 * EFP LV: Experimental Explosive Formed Penetrator charge.
 * Toothpick: High-velocity EFP with tantalum liner, boasting excellent penetration (200mm of steel armor).
 * Dragon's Breath: Pyrophoric load in 40mm form.
 * D1-SD: Napalm filled incendiary grenade.
 * RAI AP: Rocket-assisted penetrator to use against pirate boats.
 * MP40FB: Flashbang grenade.
 * Muzzle Blast OC: Limited range OC-agent blast round.
 * Muzzle Blast CN: CN-spraying limited range round.
 * Muzzle Blast CS: Same, but with CS.
 * DefTec Stinger-32: Less-than-lethal grenade with 130 rubber pellets and 9.1 meters effective range.
 * DefTec Stinger-60: Rubber ball grenade with 18 pellets and 15 meters range.
 * DefTec Triple Baton: Triple rubber baton round. 30-meters range.
 * DefTec Triple Foam: Triple foam baton round. 20-meters range.
 * DefTec Triple Wood: Triple wooden baton round. 40-meters range.
 * eXact Impact LR: Long range (70 meters) foam baton round.
 * eXact Impact SR: Short range (40 meters) foam baton round.
 * HEMI Taser: Electroshock round with 50 meters range.
 * Stickyshocky Taser: Pretty much the same from different manufacturer.
 * Aretha Nuke: Nuclear isomer 40mm grenade. 1 metric ton of TNT.
