Background Information

The 40mm grenade is a standardized military caliber developed for use in a variety of grenade launchers. Over the decades, it has been produced in numerous types — including high-explosive, anti-personnel, smoke, buckshot, flechette, and illumination rounds — each designed for specific battlefield roles.

Originally engineered for the M79 grenade launcher, a single-shot, shoulder-fired weapon introduced during the Vietnam War, the 40mm round quickly became a mainstay of U.S. and NATO infantry units. The M79 earned the nickname “Thumper” or “Mike-Mike” for the distinctive sound it made when fired. Its success led to the development of the M203 under-barrel launcher, mounted beneath the M16 rifle, which extended the weapon’s versatility into the modern era.

Beyond military use, the distinctive look of the 40mm grenade has found new life in cosplay and film, often seen as a belt or bandolier accessory for characters like The Winter Soldier and Deathstroke. Its bold shape and military styling make it an instantly recognizable prop piece for reenactors, collectors, and fans of tactical or cinematic gear.
