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 jumping grenade|VOG-25P]] (better known as the '''&quot;jumping grenade&quot;'''), 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.

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.

Type LDV Unarm Light Hardskin Kevlar-2 Kevlar-3 Kevlar-4 HEV
Explosive +6 100% 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.
