Depends on what you load it with. It takes the 20mm projectiles that originated with the MG151/20, most of which are explosive and/or incendiary. South Africa produced the MG151/20 as an aircraft weapon post-WWII, and so the projectiles are available there -- the South African arms industry has some odd things in use.
So the LAG doesn't have the fancy airbust-at-laser-measured-distance functions of the OICW, but it has projectiles that will detonate shortly after going through a shett of glass, wood or thin metal,

This also means you don't have to fire twice (once with the laser, once with the gun) and the ammo is much, much cheaper.

Nobody was making grenades airburst by shooting them with lasers and I don't see why that would be proposed with a future weapon.

I'd still rather arm troops with it than the XM-25.

I said nothing about shooting the grenade with the laser. I was referring to painting the target with the targeting laser so the grenade warhead could get proper range information. In that respect "shooting the laser" was a poor phrase choice.
