The VOG-25 grenade is a kind of 40mm caseless grenade developed between 1975 and 1978 by KBP Instrument Design Bureau. This projectile combines high-explosive and fragmentation properties, and is intended to serve an anti-personnel role.
It is a type of explosive ordnance, as such it delivers explosive-type damage.
Real-life data
VOG-25 grenades were developed along with the famous GP-25 grenade launcher designed for use with the AK-47 and later AK-74 series of rifles, by the equally well-known KBP Instrument Design Bureau, responsible for many firearm and weapon systems developed in the Soviet Union/Russia.
VOG-25 grenades are caseless; the propellant is stored in the grenade itself. Another variant exists, known as the VOG-25P (better known as the "jumping grenade"), with extra propellant and design differences that made the grenade explode one meter above the ground rather than on impact, which caused a more powerful blast. They are filled with a lesser known explosive compound known as A-IX-1, derivated from TNT. Each VOG-25 grenade contains about 50 grams of A-IX-1. While slightly more potent than TNT, the explosive charge is less powerful than another grenade of comparable size. Other types of VOG-25 grenades were also developed, such as the GRD-100 smoke grenade and the Gvozd tear gas grenade.

Explosive
| Type | Unarm | Light | Hardskin | Kevlar-2 | Kevlar-3 | Kevlar-4 | HEV |
| Explosive | 100% | 95% | 90% | 85% | 70% | 60% | 40% |
- Available for purchase in a gun shop or a weapon shop, in boxes of 4 or 8 rounds
- It is a fragmentating explosive device, which causes an explosion with fragmentation.
- Costs 280 P$ for 4 rounds, and 560 P$ for 8 rounds
- Value of a single round is 70 P$
- Weapons in this caliber do not have Recoil
- Availability of this caliber:
- Can be found at random in the rooms
Fragments
It is a fragmentation grenade. Upon exploding, it has a chance to release between 0 and 14 fragments to each victim affected by splash damage. The damage chart shown underneath represents the power of each fragment, should they hit a target.
Remember that while explosive shockwaves can hit encounters behind cover (due to splash damage), fragmentation does not, and will hit cover first.
| Type | Unarm | Light | Hardskin | Kevlar-2 | Kevlar-3 | Kevlar-4 | HEV |
| Bullet | 25% | 24% | 22% | 18% | 15% | 11% | 5% |
