The 40LV M552 signal flare is a signal flare which is NATO standard within the XNDUIW community. It is a semi-fictional signal flare which is used for signaling purposes within XNDUIW, which generally uses the 40x46mm low velocity caliber itself. It is not throwable unlike a hand grenade, so it has to be fired out of it's respective launcher itself, which has been implemented throughout the community's involvement within 2024.
It will generally be used for signaling, since it will be active for around 40 seconds which will then despawn once the item has been used. This becomes important for signaling for emergency environments, since it will glow for that specific period of time. Despite being a low-velocity projectile, it can launch for a longer distance when compared to the 40GL within the XNDUIW community itself.
