40mm Smoke ammunition is designed for use with a grenade launcher. On impact, it creates a thick gray/white cloud of smoke.

"Used to provide smoke screens during tactical movement over ground covered by enemy fire. Maximum obscurity is achieved at point of impact and dissipates thereafter. Alternatively, smoke grenades are used to mark a target when identifying enemy positions becomes difficult." — In-game descriptionThe 40mm Smoke Launcher is a gadget available for the Assault kit in Battlefield: Bad Company 2 that allows the player to fire smoke grenades from a 40mm under-barrel grenade launcher. If a player hits another player (enemy on core, anyone on Hardcore) directly with the smoke grenade, the other player will die. Yet another use for the smoke is that it has the ability to disable and remove tracer darts.The UAV-1 can also be equipped with 40mm smoke as a specialization. If aimed properly, it too can be used to kill infantry.

"A 40mm smoke grenade. With this alternate ammunition, you can pop a smoke barrier on the battlefield, worsen the field of view for the enemy." — Battlelog description

The M320 Smoke is a variant of the M320 grenade launcher that fires smoke grenades. It is the final unlockable ammunition for the grenade launcher. When fired, the projectile arcs just as the 40mm grenade proper does, and on contact immediately produces a large, opaque cloud of smoke over an area of several meters in any given direction from the epicenter of the impact. Those caught within suffer reduced vision, but can still make out players that are within a few meters.

Smoke grenades are best used near the enemy, causing them to become disoriented. This applies whether the smoke is meant to be defensive cover (i.e. to protect a bomb layer or medic), or offensive. Players caught in smoke are easier to flank, and put themselves in danger if they move out of the smoked area and into enemy fire.

Although smoke grenades inflict no splash damage, the projectile can be fatal to infantry at any range. Offsetting this power is the grenade's relatively slow velocity.

On Normal and Custom games where 3D spotting is enabled, players can still see enemy namecards if they are in the player's crosshairs, potentially making the smoke worthless, especially if fired at one's own feet.

TriviaEdit

In Battlefield: Bad Company 2, the 40mm Smoke Launcher shown on the equipment main menu is in fact a Russian GP-25 grenade launcher.
Weapon stars are not awarded for kills earned with the smoke launcher.
In Battlefield 3, there was a glitch where if the player attached the M320 SMOKE to the AUG while equipped with an Underslung rail, the round had very high velocity which means no drop and fast travel time, making it extremely deadly. It has since been patched in a hot fix by DICE, making the AUG unable to use the underslung M320 SMOKE.
Battlelog incorrectly notes that the M320 Smoke fires 40mm buckshot. Its page description also reads, "A close range 40mm buck shot, for those close quarters." Oddly, the pop-up text reads otherwise.
