RPG-40 is an anti-tank hand grenade used by the USSR during WWII. It was designed in 1940 and produced from 1941-1943. The grenade was also used in the Korean War. Unlike most anti-tank grenades that rely on shaped charges to penetrate armor, the RPG-40 is simply an oversize hand grenade relying on the blast of its massive explosive charge (0.76kg/1.7lb of TNT) to damage armor.
In the movies a training version of RPG-40 can be seen. It is colored in dull black, while live grenades are colored in green or khaki.
