==Overview==
== Overview ==
The 40mm grenade has two detonation modes, depending upon the way it is detonated after firing. The first detonation mode, upon being fired, bounces off a surface once, or when it strikes an organic target, will detonate almost immediately, causing an instant kill. The second detonation mode results in a delayed detonation, usually when the user takes their finger off the trigger after holding it down for a time. Also, the grenade is also capable of emitting an [[electromagnetic pulse]], so when detonated in close proximity to a mechanical target, like a [[Type-26 Assault Gun Carriage|Wraith]], a [[Type-32 Rapid Assault Vehicle|Ghost]], or a [[Type-48 Light Assault Gun Carriage|Revenant]], the targeted vehicle will automatically power down temporarily.
