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,
