Medium velocity

Medium Velocity 40×51 mm MV (40 mm medium velocity) 40×51 mm MV (medium velocity),also known as 40×51 mm extended range low pressure (ERLP),is a NATO-standard high–low grenade launcher cartridge meant for hand-held grenade launchers. Its purpose is to be an intermediate cartridge between the 40×46 mm low-velocity and 40×53 mm high-velocity cartridges and is thus referred to as 40 mm medium velocity. The propellant has medium pressure and gives the projectile an average velocity of 100 m/s (328 ft/s) depending on the ammunition type. It has a maximum range of 800 meters, exceeding conventional extended range low-velocity variants by up to 375 meters

High velocity

40×53 mm Round with High Explosive Dual Purpose Grenade The 40×53 mm Round is intended to destroy enemy manpower, transport means and light-armoured objects at distance of up to 2200 m. It is also capable of destroying enemy personnel located in long-term emplacements, long-term camouflaged emplacements, bunkers, dugouts and buildings. Compatibility The rounds are designed to be fired from Automatic Grenade launchers, as follows: GD/SACO Mk19, HK GMG, SB LAG40, and other Automatic Grenade Launchers, compatible with 40×53 mm High velocity Rounds, meeting NATO requirements.

High Explosive 40mm grenades play a pivotal role in modern infantry tactics, offering a blend of firepower, range, and adaptability. They enable ground forces to deliver precise explosive ordnance across a spectrum of combat scenarios, from close-quarters battles to long-range engagements. The availability of low, medium, and high-velocity variants ensures that infantry units can select the appropriate munition to meet the specific requirements of the mission, whether it’s breaching enemy defenses, suppressing fire, or destroying equipment and fortifications. The continuous evolution and refinement of these munitions underscore their critical role in enhancing the operational flexibility and combat effectiveness of modern military forces.
