At only 115 grams that's a really light round!

Thanks, Leg. This is EXACTLY what I was looking for to confirm what I discovered initially about the M576. I think that the reason that we don't see a more modern Multiple Projectile Round is that the Army felt it wasn't needed. The M203 was developed so an Infantryman could also have a small arm to protect themselves and that removed the need for the "Buckshot" grenade. Add to that the development of inserts that allow you to fire ANY 12 gauge round and the development of a new 40mm grenade becomes unnecessary. I'm just surprised at how "anemic" the M576 actually is for a 40mm round.
