WHY 40MM SYSTEM?

Most effective caliber to combine weight ratio of the projectile and distance attained with LV ammunition, soon to add MV capability for even greater lethality and capabilityAllows unrestricted shoulder firing for both LV and MVIncreased firepower (6 grenades in 3 seconds)Proven in all types of terrain since the early 1960sLow velocity ammunition is readily available all over the world, and with MV munitions currently in full production, 40mm is capable to meet all the challenges that the modern war fighter may encounterAbility to load various types of ammunition in the same weapon, even at the same time to allow the warfighter to select (manually) what munitions to deliver to the target based on situational needs
