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. 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.

Type	Unarm	Light	Hardskin	Kevlar-2	Kevlar-3	Kevlar-4	HEV
Explosive	100%	95%	90%	85%	70%	60%	40%

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.

-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 [[Protection chart|explosive]] damage type bonus of being able to [[Severed limb|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.
