Re: Infantry Served Weapons and Organization.
SANDF has a new toy the 370 Y4 (MILKOR) medium velocity six-shot grenade launchers along with 20,000 rounds of the new 40mm Medium Velocity (MV) by Rheinmetall. This is an higher velocity extended range munition.
Rounds ordered of medium-velocity ammunition, including high explosive ammunition, high explosive dual-purpose ammunition, practice ammunition, practice tracer ammunition, red phosphorous smoke rounds and orange target marker ammunition.
The new 40mm medium-velocity (MV, ca. 100 m/s) ammunition. The company is currently expanding its MV product. It now includes the new generation of 40mm MV ammunition, which has a maximum effective range of 800 metres, doubling the gunners’s operational reach and providing a flatter trajectory for those crucial close-in, accurately placed shots MV ammunition is.
