V40 Fragmentation - Mini-Grenade - Netherlands - The NWM V40 is a special purpose offensive grenade, popularly used for diversionary attacks and discouraging pursuit. Weighing close to 4 ounces (~0.11kg), the V40 can be carried in much larger quantities than the heavier M61. The smaller size comes at a price, however. While producing 326 fragments, the V40's effective casualty radius is only 5 meters. Accurate placement is paramount if the thrower actually wants to hurt someone.
Tactics: (N3.5 Only) Ideal for use by the fumble-fingered AI, the V40 is also handy aginst camping opponents and Tangos hiding in small rooms. However, active and alert opponents can easily escape the small blast radius if they have room to run.
