	— In-game description

40mm is a type of Shell used by many cannons and useful against both structures and vehicles.

Uses

Specifications

It travels instantly and in a straight line.

It explodes on contact or if it reaches the maximum range of the cannon firing it.

By default its explosion deals 600 Explosive damage at its center and decreasing amounts in a 2m radius.

It's effective against most structures but much less against very resistant ones.

It is effective against armored vehicles, however it needs to penetrate the armor in order to deal its damage. It can disable their subsystems.

It is very expensive and thus not cost-effective to use against infantry.

Users

The following infantry weapons, vehicles, and structures use 40mm:

None

Production

Structure	Input(s)	Output	Time
Factory (Heavy Ammunition)	160 x Basic Materials 120 x Explosive Materials	Crate of 20 x 40mm	00:03:20
Mass Production Factory (Heavy Ammunition)	160 x Basic Materials 120 x Explosive Materials	Crate of 20 x 40mm	00:33:20

Due to its high cost, it is recommended to use the MPF whenever possible to produce 40mm shells, as it saves explosive materials

Storage

40mm does not stack in inventories (1 per slot) except in ammo slots dedicated to 40mm in certain vehicle or structure inventories (varying stack sizes).

It can be stored in Base stockpiles.

40mm crates can be stored in the stockpile of a Storage Depot, Seaport, or Storage Ship. Crates can be submitted to a Base to transfer the 40mm inside into the stockpile.

Trivia

The Warden's earliest vehicle to use 40mm shells is the O'Brien V.101 Freeman, commonly referred to as the HAC
