25mm Grenade

25mm grenades came in two flavours: low-velocity 25x40mm for XM25 grenade launcher and high-velocity 25x59mm for XM109 payload rifle and XM307 AGL. This class of grenades were designed to supplant both 12,7mm type weapons and 40mm grenade launcher systems.

Their success... was mixed.
