40mm grenades are an ammunition type found in Fallout: New Vegas, Fallout 4 (added in the "Makeshift Weapon Pack" included in the next-gen update), Fallout 76, Fallout Tactics, and Van Buren.

Background

The 40mm grenade offers the operator the ability to deliver a large caliber explosive round to the target with very manageable recoil. The 40mm grenade achieves this by first igniting the propellant in a cup-shaped high-pressure chamber, which then breaks through the copper cover, venting into a low-pressure chamber and propelling the grenade out of its shell and towards the target.
