This is the American 40mm M583 (White), M661 (Green), M662 (Red), grenade-launcher fired, parachute star cartridges containing a nose-ejected, parachute suspended pyrotechnic illuminating candle. Intensity ranges from 8,000 to 90,000 candle-power.

This is the Russian 40mm VOG-25P (BOГ-25П), a High-Explosive-Fragmentation (HE-Frag), grenade-launcher fired, low-velocity, pre-rifled, caseless, airburst, Anti-Personnel (AP), bounding, projected-grenade employing the VMG-P Point-Detonating Self-Destruct (PDSD) fuze, adopted in …

2017年9月26日 · For nearly 30 years, 40 mm grenades have been a mainstay on the battlefield, undergoing little more than safety and reliability improvements. In 2009, the Army set out to …

This is the American 40mm M713 (Red), M715 (Green) and M716 (Yellow), grenade-launcher fired, spin-stabilised, low-velocity, ground smoke marker, projected-grenades. The M713, M715, M716 smoke (SMK) cartridges are identical except that they are red, green and yellow smoke projected-grenades, respectively.

Like 40 mm smoke grenades in the US military, they are all of 40×46 mm caliber, serving more of a use in an individual rather than a crew-served capacity. They also come in two main types, cluster flares and parachute flares.

Specially developed 40mm caseless ammunition has the propellant load integral to the projected-grenade and travels through the barrel. The propelling gases emerge into the barrel through 4 apertures in the base of the projected-grenade thus pressurising the chamber and propelling the projected-grenade out of the barrel.

The most commonly used projected grenade is the 40 millimeter (40mm) grenade. This grenade is also among the most commonly found UXO items. The 40mm grenade is about the same size and shape as a chicken egg. It contains high explosives and uses a variety of fuzes, including some of the most sensitive internal impact fuzing systems.

The UXO SD features a Capture Gate that fits onto the Breech Plug and has a fixed compensator that is completely recoilless with a projectile mass of 200 g in the 40 mm barrel configuration. The UXO SD is stored in a transit case that can contain the multi position stand, inert consumables and nine projectiles. d. Operational Characteristics.

2024年4月30日 · Typically, a mortar or rifle grenades (e.g., 40mm, M203) becomes armed and capable of exploding based on the number of rotations or spins completed after leaving the launching tube. Upon impact, a nail-like device located in the cone or nose of the device is pushed down into a fissile explosive that detonates the actual explosive charge.

Trapped field distribution profiles of fully grown bulk samples clearly showed that all samples were single-grain and the trapped field values were more than 0.5 T at 77 K, 1.3 mm above top...
