M40 Grenade

The most commonly used grenade round the M40 round is marked by a red plastic cap. With a muzzle velocity of 87 meters per second, the M40 is accurate up to 180 meters and effective up to 400 meters.

Upon detonation a notched steel wire wrapped around a composition B15 core spreads more than 300 deadly fragments over a five meter casualty radius. The M40 can also be used as a hand grenade; flipping off the plastic cap and twisting the nose clockwise will start a five-second delayed detonation.

However, care should be taken as striking or forcibly depressing the nose cap will cause the grenade to detonate immediately.
