Too bad.'[R-DEV wrote:Eddie Baker']HE Airburst, or bounding HE grenades are used by the Russians in the GP30 series of weapons. This round is called the VOG-25P. On impact with the ground, it springs up from .5 to 1.5 meters and detonates.
At one time the US had the 40mm M397A1 HE Airburst round for the M79/M203 that performed in a similar way.

Check out the M684 ... 40mm fragmention grenade with electronic-proximity fuse.
Kinda hard to imagine this thing working accuratly, but it should detonate when it finds a charaterstic radio-reflection in range. Handy against fortified positions without hard topping (sandsack barriers ,trenches etc.).
