The Russian GP-30 Obuvka, GP-25 Kastyor, and BG-15 Mukha use a unique type of 40mm grenade. These grenades are caseless, holding their own propellant within the body of the grenade. The Russian 40mm grenades are not interchangeable with U.S. 40×46mm and 40×53mm weapons. They also developed a silenced 30mm grenade launcher, the BS-1 "Tishina", using a multi-round blank cartridge magazine meant to ignite the 30mm HE-DP caseless grenade.

The Metal Storm 40 mm Weapon System is a four-barrel, 16-round weapon system that also uses 40mm grenades (stacked), and is designed for mounting on an unmanned ground vehicle. Initial trials are under way to determine suitability for mounting on unmanned aerial vehicles.
