This depends on what kind of 40mm grenade you are talking about, its like asking how fast can a car drive.

The 40mm grenades are used as both fragmentation grenades, designed to disperse shrapnel and either kill or wound enemy personnel, and penetrating grenades. Flares, smoke canisters, and CS tear gas may also be fired through a 40mm grenade launcher, but these weapons are not designed for armour piercing capabilities.

How do you use the granade gun an the m16?

The "Grenade Gun" found on the M16 rifle is called the M203 grenade launcher. It is used by manually opening the loading port, inserting a 40mm grenade, closing the port, and depressing a separate trigger. The M203 will then discharge its grenade at the intended target. Further detail is not (in my opinion) necessary for this answer.


Which grenade launcher was used to kill the bad terminater?

In Terminator 2: Judgment Day, the T800 Terminator fired a 40x46mm grenade into the T2000 Terminator with an M79 grenade launcher. This didn't actually destroy the T2000 - falling into the molten steel after the damage sustained from the 40mm grenade is what destroyed the T2000 (then the T800 went into the molten steel voluntarily in order to be terminated).

What is the correct name for a grenade launcher?

WWII & Korea had "Rifle Grenades" launched from the muzzle of their M1 Garand rifles. Vietnam was the first war in which specially designed "grenade launchers" were issued to the men. The M-79 Grenade Launcher was nicknamed the "Thumper" or the "Blooper" because that's the sound it made when fired. It was a break open (like a shotgun) single barrel, single shot 40mm grenade launcher (and not as effective as some historians seem to believe). In 1970 in Vietnam, the M-203 over and under grenade launcher was fielded. That was just as bad as the thumper, only worse: it was heavier because now the M16 rifle was attached to it and when you slid the front portion of the 40mm grenade barrel forward to load it, you had to keep the muzzle downward or else the whole round fell out of the weapon. he means muzzle upward
