| Summary / Abstract (Note) | Grenade launching and their ammunition are currently experiencing the fastest and most dramatic period of development of any small arms. In NATO armies, the traditional 40x46 mm low velocity (LV) and 40x53 mm high velocity (HV) rounds used in shoulder fired and crew-served launchers respectively still dominate, although ammunition offered for shoulder fired weapons now includes LV extended range LV-ER and medium velocity - MU to provide greater reach. |
