Airsoft 40mm grenades are essentially shotguns. They're not very common in Canada, mostly due to limited utility and cost. They're usually used in direct fire at medium to close ranges, since indirect fire is for longer ranges, a lot more difficult and a lot less effective/efficient.

Since the shell simply discharges gas, it's possible to omit the BBs and stick a Nerf ball down the launcher's barrel instead. Provided proper windage between the projectile and barrel, the shell provides the necessary impulse to propel it down the range.
