Non-Lethal 40 Millimeter Cartridge

Non-Lethal 40 Millimeter Cartridges are a type of ammunition that falls under the supply class Ammunition, Over 30mm Up To 75mm, which is part of the supply group Ammunition And Explosives. These cartridges are designed to be non-lethal, meaning they are intended to incapacitate or subdue targets without causing fatal injuries.

The 40mm size refers to the diameter of the cartridge. These cartridges are commonly used in various non-lethal weapons, such as grenade launchers or less-lethal launchers. They are typically loaded with non-lethal projectiles, such as rubber bullets, bean bags, or tear gas canisters.

Non-lethal 40mm cartridges are often used by law enforcement and military personnel for crowd control, riot suppression, and other situations where the use of lethal force is not warranted or desired. They provide a means of temporarily disabling or incapacitating individuals without causing permanent harm.

It is important to note that while these cartridges are designed to be non-lethal, they can still cause serious injury or even death if used improperly or at close range. Therefore, proper training and adherence to guidelines and regulations are essential when handling and deploying non-lethal 40mm cartridges.
