The Italian Armed Forces have awarded Rheinmetall a contract worth €8.7 million for more than 50,000 rounds of en-hanced-performance 40mm x53 war shot ammunition. Following Canada and Denmark, Italy is now the third NATO nation to equip its Armed Forces with this product. Designed for the use in automatic grenade launchers like the MK19, MK47 and GMG, the highly accurate enhanced performance 40mm x53 High Velocity High Explosive Dual Purpose Insensitive Munition with Electronic Self Destruct (HV HEDP IM ESD) is very effective against semi-hard targets and lightly armoured vehicles at ranges of up to 2,200 metres.
