Well one 40mm 40x46mm for the 203 or 40x53mm for the Mk.19 costs supposedly about $100-200 US dollars and those are much smaller in total dimension than the Bofors 40mm 40x364mmR so I bet are at least 50 or 60 bucks a shell.The modern grenade rounds are more expensive though much smaller because they have delay fuses to keep them from arming for a certain distance 15 or 20 meters I think it is.
I posted a link to the dragons breath clip it is cool looking but not very practical.I thought the best shells where the Rhodesian buck and the combo slug/buck shells.
The Rhodesian was used during the Rhodesian Wars the bird shot on top of buck would be very effective in the jungle for point man.And the Slug/buck combo is just freaking deadly I have tried those out on the range before and keep an M870 a mix of slug/buck and regular buck in the tube though I think the defense buck which has one huge .650 or so and then 6 or so number 1 pellets is better for your home the slug could over penetrate. The flèchet rounds are designed with Kevlar penetration in mind.That is the beauty of a shotgun you can fire damn near anything out of one the old time blunderbuss or musketoons folks would simply garb rocks and use those when they ran out of shot and you can load a shell with rocks if you wanted to today not sure why you would but you could.
