XM25 Individual Airburst Weapon System

The Army's futuristic-looking 2.5 pound XM25 Individual Airburst Weapon System is in development as a means to defeat defilade targets.

The XM25 is an airburst grenade launcher derived from the XM29 OICW. It fires 25 mm grenades that can be set to explode in mid-air after traveling a certain distance. This feature makes the XM25 more effective than traditional grenade launchers at the task of clearing entrenched positions.
