What caliber grenades does the MSGL fire?

• A. 60 mm grenades
• B. 25 mm grenades
• C. 70 mm grenades
• D. 40 mm grenades

Answer: (D)

The MSGL uses 40-millimeter grenades. This caliber is standard for infantry grenade launchers, designed for a rapid, multi-shot delivery from a drum or similar feed system. The 40 mm rounds provide effective fragmentation and airburst options, fitting the MSGL’s role as a high-volume, crew-served launcher. Other calibers belong to different weapon systems—60 mm grenades come from mortars, 25 mm rounds are for autocannons/chain guns, and 70 mm rounds are typically rockets used by aircraft or separate launchers—so they aren’t part of what the MSGL fires.
