VOG-25 HE (no ontology)

From Mazeworld

The VOG-25 grenade is a kind of explosive ordnance developed between 1975 and 1978 by KBP Instrument Design Bureau.
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.

Explosive

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 power can hit encounters behind cover, fragmentation does not, and will hit cover first.

How to read this?

As one would expect, VOG-25 explosions deal high damage. As an explosive ordnance, and ammunition for grenade launchers, it is a deadly force to be reckoned with, benefiting from the advantage of explosive damage type bonus of being able to blow off limbs from its targets.

While these may be strong advantages, this is a somewhat rare type of ammunition, due to the low amount of weapons that have ever been produced for this type of grenade. It is also a somewhat heavy kind of ammunition - each weighs 1 unit, rendering ammunition conservation a bit harder than with standard weapons. A single grenade costs 70 P$, but as they are always found in boxes of 4 or 8, barring ammo found in weapons themselves, they will cost 280 P$ or 560 P$, respectively.
