    40x53 mm HEDP-SD

    DESCRIPTION

    The grenade HEDP-SD cal. 40 mm is a high speed and high


    explosive projectile with the combined effect of piercing
    50mm thick armour and of generating sharpnels. The
    grenade features a fuze having a self-destructive action in
    order to minimize the number of unexploded bombs on the
    field. The round of grenades comes in belts of 32 pieces,
    packed in steel boxes.
    The belt-fed automatic grenade launcher US MK19 Mod 3
    is used to fire the 40x53 mm grenades.

    GRENADE EFFECTIVENESS

    The grenade is highly effective against human targets


    thanks to its high explosiveness and to the generation of
    fragments. The inner surface of the steel body is preformed in the shape of small hexagones forming
    fracture lines that will generate fragments during the explosion: thanks to this configuration, fragments
    and shards spread uniformily within a lethal range of 5 meters. Moreover, the effect of the shaped charge
    is to blow a hole and to destroy armored vehicles. The high speed of the grenade and its aerodynamics
    ensure high accuracy too. All of these features assure a uniform trajectory for optimal target engagement.
