The M430 and M430A1 are 40×53 mm HEDP cartridges akin to the low-velocity M433. They differ in how much armor they can penetrate, with the M430 being able to penetrate 51 mm of steel plate, and the M430A1 being able to penetrate 76 mm. [3]

The M430A1 HEDP 40mm Grenade is the High Velocity Grenade of choice for our Warfighters using the MK19 and MK47 Automatic Grenade Launchers. The Grenade consists of the M169 Aluminum Cartridge Case, M549A1 AMTEC Point Detonating Fuze, Copper Liner, Warhead Body with Fragmentation and CompA5 Explosive.

Several countries have developed or adopted grenade launchers in 40 mm caliber. [1] NATO currently uses three standardized 40 mm grenade families: 40 mm low velocity (LV), 40 mm medium velocity (MV), and 40 mm high velocity (HV).

(E11800) The 40mm M430A1 is a High-Explosive Dual Purpose cartridge (HEDP), and is fired from a MK19 Grenade Machine Gun at a max range of 2,200 meters. It is capable of penetrating three inches of steel armor and inflicting personnel casualties in the target area. This item is Code A, approved for service use.

This cartridge is a high explosive, dual purpose, impact type round designed to penetrate two inches (three inches for the M430A1) of steel armor at 0 angle of obliquity and inflict personnel casualties in the target area. It is fired from 40mm Machine Gun Mk 19 Mod 3. Not authorized for use in M129 Grenade Launcher.

This specialized venting design developed for the M430 allows for removal of the confinement and allows for depressurization of the explosive billet. The novel material and thread geometry ensures that the projectile will survive the higher acceleration loads while still mitigating violent response to fast and slow cook-off conditions.
