Talk:List of 40 mm grenades

message: I know the 40mm grenade was first issued by the US, but most nato countries seem to issue an underslung grenade launcher of some sort now. Are 40mm grenades widely standard nato issued, as part of a STANAG? I know H&K make the UK and German GL's. A bit more on other countries would be good.

replies: text: Yes it is, which is why I created Survey of modern US 40 mm grenades.  This page should be expanded to talk more about the development and history, and leave the other page for the laundry list of grenade types (the other page has much more in depth descriptions as well). -- Thatguy96 17:46, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

:It would be consistent with other articles if the title were changed to '40 mm grenade'. Bobblewik  (talk) 10:12, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: '''Expansion of this article with military designation and specific details of the various grenade types would be much appreciated here.'''

message: There are cannons/guns,such as the Bofors 40 mm gun,that use of course 40 mm projectiles.

They use actual shells(large bullets) not grenades.(198.82.19.34 17:40, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

message: I removed the parenthesis that defined "effective radius" as "kill radius", because it is wrong! Effective radius has a formal definition based on fragment numbers and energy, and is supposed to estimate the distance at which there is a fairly high probability of being too severely wounded to continue combat. So far as I am aware there is no standardised procedure for estimating distance at which death is likely, and obviously no practical or ethical way to actually measure it. But for the few grenades for which there is claimed a particular "lethal radius", it is typically from 2/3 to as little as 1/3 of the effective radius. -- Securiger (talk) 09:38, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  effective != kill 

message: Nice article.  If one of y'all could add the following info, that would be nice
1) There's a few newer HE round that the M203 supports that the M79 won't.  Why?
2) What's the armor penetration capability of the HEDP round?
Thanks. Shmelyova (talk) 16:12, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

message: Currently this article focuses too little on the general idea of 40 mm grenades and acts more like a hub for each 40 mm grenade cartridge which could otherwise have their own article. I think each cartridge type should get its own article, after which we rework this page into an disambiguation page for all the cartridge types.--Blockhaj (talk) 13:47, 9 December 2020 (UTC)
