Abstract
Shown is a family of low spin and essentially no spin, full in-bore 40 mm projectiles which can be fired from a standard M203 or M320 grenade gun launcher. The projectiles have extended range through over 1000 meters and also have the capability for adding on guidance-navigation and control features/components for great accuracy. Increased accuracy is also provided by another, rear fin type projectile embodiment. The projectiles can be lengthened to accommodate more lethal fragments, and increased amount of explosive and energetic. At the same time, there is provided a training round of analogous performance for all these tactical projectiles.
