Unlike most anti-tank grenades that rely on shaped charges to penetrate armor, the RPG-40 is simply an oversize hand grenade relying on the blast of its massive explosive charge (0.76kg/1.7lb of TNT) to damage armor. 


In the movies a training version of RPG-40 can be seen. It is colored in dull black, while live grenades are colored in green or khaki.
