All grenades and launcher rounds
These six line items are 40x46 mm low-velocity rounds. Four are high explosive: the M99 and M17 with a fuze arming at 14 to 27 m, and the M99 P1 and M14 with a self-destructing fuze arming at 8 to 30 m. The M99 dual purpose round adds penetration of 60 mm of steel plate, and the M18 is a thermobaric round quoted by overpressure and zone of destruction. Every record states a round or grenade mass; the five with a range figure quote a maximum of 400 m.
A 40 mm x 46 thermobaric round that acts with high temperature and a shock wave against personnel in shelters and in the open, and against light armoured and non-armoured vehicles.
40x46 mm low-velocity high explosive round with 48 g explosive charge, lethal radius at least 5 m and maximum range 400 m.
40x46 mm low-velocity high explosive round for targets in the open and in shelters at utility ranges from 50 m to 400 m.
40x46 mm low-velocity high explosive round with self-destructing fuze acting 12 to 20 s after firing.
A 40 mm x 46 low-velocity high-explosive round with a self-destruct fuze, intended for firing from NATO-standard 40 mm low-velocity grenade launchers against targets in the open and in shelters at ranges from 50 m to 400 m.
40x46 mm low-velocity high explosive dual purpose round penetrating 60 mm of steel plate with a lethal radius of at least 5 m.
The five high explosive and dual purpose entries share a common frame: a maximum range of 400 m, a lethal radius of at least 5 m and an operating range of -42 to +63 degrees C. Four of the five add a muzzle velocity of 78 m/s, the M99 P1 omitting it, and four quote precision on a vertical target at 100 m of Vp 0.25 m and Vv 0.35 m or less, the M14 omitting it. The M18 record replaces those figures with thermobaric values.
Five designations appear: M99 in a high explosive, a self-destructing P1 and a dual purpose version, then M17, M14 and M18. Round mass runs from 210 g on the M18 to 245 g on the two M99 items, and explosive mass is 48 g on the three high explosive rounds that quote it against 42 g on the dual purpose M99. An arming distance appears on five of the six entries, and packing or transport data on four of them.
Its data sheet gives a round mass of 210 g and a grenade mass of 160 g, an epicentre temperature of 1500 degrees C, an overpressure of 1 bar at 1 m distance, an open zone of destruction of 2 square metres and a closed zone of 4 cubic metres, over -30 to +50 degrees C.
Only the M17. Its record quotes a case gross mass of 51 kg for 162 rounds, a full pallet gross mass of 837 kg and a transport classification of IMO code 1.2E, UN No. 0321. The M99, M99 P1 and dual purpose M99 records quote 3 rounds per polyethylene bag and 54 bags in a wooden case.
