It is designed to fire 40mm telescoped ammunition. [2] This format provides significant benefit within vehicles in the space envelope required for the gun and the ammunition storage. [ 3 ] However, the selection of the unfielded, thus unproven, new design for major French and British programmes was controversial.
1994 - CTAI was created by (at that time) GIAT and Royal Ordnance, with initial activities around a 45mm solution 1997 - the 40mm calibre solution is selected; 1999 - The UK MoD Operational Analysis (OA) study output is shared with US DoD; the solution is integrated into Bradley Fighting Vehicle and the US-UK Tracer prototype vehicle

Telescoped ammunition is an ammunition design in which the projectile is partially or completely enveloped by the ...
Bofors 40 mm 3P all-target programmable ammunition allows six modes including three proximity fuzing modes.This increases the flexibility and effectiveness of the gun system, which has further reduced the reaction time of the gun and it is possible to choose ammunition mode at the moment of firing, giving it the ability to switch rapidly between surface targets, air targets, and ground targets.
The Bushmaster IV is a 40 mm chain-driven autocannon designed and built by Alliant Techsystems, based on the M242 Bushmaster, Bushmaster II and Bushmaster III. [1] [2] The Bushmaster IV fires 40×365mmR 3P (Prefragmented, Programmable, Proximity-fuzed), APFSDS-T Mk I, and APFSDS-T Mk II rounds.
After the war, the 3"/50 caliber gun Mark 27 twin mount began to replace the Bofors, because the "VT" proximity fuse would not fit a 40mm projectile, and the 40 mm weapon was considered inadequate against the emerging anti-ship missile threat. The twin 3" mount was intended to be the same weight as the 40mm quad mount, but was somewhat heavier ...
Fired 40 mm low-velocity M781 showing its orange signal chalk . 40×46 mm LV (low velocity) [2] is a NATO-standard [3] high–low grenade launcher cartridge meant for hand-held grenade launchers, such as the M79, M203, Milkor MGL, Heckler & Koch AG36 and M320 Grenade Launcher Module.
