Variants
40mm grenade, incendiary
The 40mm incendiary grenade deals 25% less blast damage up front (but the same amount of impact damage from the grenade itself) and has a 40% smaller blast radius (7.03 yards or 6.43 meters) than the normal 40mm, but it also causes enemies to burst into flames, dealing 6 damage every second over a 15 second period.
40mm grenade, plasma
A sub-type added with the add-on Gun Runners' Arsenal. They deal significantly more damage than a 40mm grenade, but have a slightly smaller blast radius. This does not result in any AP reduction from Plasma Spaz.
40mm grenade, pulse
A sub-type added with the add-on Gun Runners' Arsenal. They deal an incredibly insignificant amount of damage (only 8 points) to targets and have a 50% smaller blast radius, but deal an extra 150 damage to robots and 60 damage to power armor.

Unlike other weapons wielded by non-companion non-player characters, these use ammunition, so there may be none left unless they're killed before their supply is expended.
- Every survivalist hidden cache in Honest Hearts is guaranteed to hold at least one 40mm grenade, and can hold up to seven per bag.
- Pearl has 30 40mm grenades in her possession and 12 in her barracks, on a shelf.
- 32, found on a dead Brotherhood of Steel paladin in the Dead Wind Cavern.
