@Terry@poa.st @niobleoum@nekosat.work The 40mm shotshell has been a thing since about a year after the M79 was implemented. I would not be surprised to find them in use by Ukraine. From Wiki "The M576 contains twenty metal pellets with an overall weight of 24 grams.[2][3] The XM576/XM576E1 was standardized to become the M576. Normal dispersion pattern of the M576 will put 13 of 20 pellets in a 1.5 meter circle at 40 meters.[4] The remaining 7 pellets could land anywhere.[5] Another test variant, the XM576E2, which had twenty seven metal pellets without a sabot within the shot cup, was deemed to spread too quickly for effective use. Both types had a muzzle velocity of roughly 880 ft/s (268 m/s)."
