About: M40 HEDP Grenade   Sponge Permalink

An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : 134.155.108.49:8890 associated with source dataset(s)

The M40 is primarily designed to be fired from the U1 Grenade Launcher, although it can also double as a hand grenade. The cartridge consists of two main sections — a rimmed, separating base and a metal casing topped with a red plastic identifying cap. When fired from a U1, the base propels the casing from the grenade launcher's barrel with a muzzle velocity of around 78 m/s. The grenade round has an effective range of 400 m, and an accurate range of around 180 m. The projectile itself contains notched steel wire wrapped around a Composition B15 explosive core, which spreads more than 300 metal fragments over a casualty radius of 5 m upon detonation.

  • The M40 is primarily designed to be fired from the U1 Grenade Launcher, although it can also double as a hand grenade. The cartridge consists of two main sections — a rimmed, separating base and a metal casing topped with a red plastic identifying cap. When fired from a U1, the base propels the casing from the grenade launcher's barrel with a muzzle velocity of around 78 m/s. The grenade round has an effective range of 400 m, and an accurate range of around 180 m. The projectile itself contains notched steel wire wrapped around a Composition B15 explosive core, which spreads more than 300 metal fragments over a casualty radius of 5 m upon detonation. Despite its main purpose as a launched projectile, the M40 can be employed as a hand-thrown grenade by flipping off the red plastic cap and depressing the button beneath. This will trigger a three second fuse, after which the round will detonate.
