    It’s really a projectile 30mm.HE version is most common with an impact fuze. Called a grenade in common folk but it’s not. It’s deployed by percussion actuated launch tube launcher when deployed by personnel on ground. Similar to theory to us 40mm from a MK 19/203 but much more simplistic fuze than a US 40 MM HEDP. That’s some serious trauma, poor feller.
