40mm Powder Projectile

Developed specifically for rifled grenade launchers such as the U.S. M203 and our TGL-1, these cartridges shoot projectiles that engage the barrel rifling. As a result the projectiles are spin stabilized and therefore highly accurate. The propelling system is based on the one used in the U.S. M781 40mm practice round and uses an M212 high and low pressure chamber cartridge case. This proven design keeps reliability high and costs low. The round is available in CS, OC, and inert for training purposes in the powder munitions . Since no fins are required for stabilization, the total of the projectile length can be used to contain agent.

Operation

The round can be launched from a U.S. M203 or similar launcher such as our TGL-1 or M79. The impact during target penetration ruptures a weakened circular section in the projectile nose, releasing the payload. The violent deceleration coupled with the spin instantly produces a large volume of a fine powder inside the target.
