the damage states are in the statblocks of the AL-GL4 and GL-GL20 grenade launchers, pg 104-105 of rifts mercs. it also mentions smoke, illumination
and chemic rounds but they aren't given any stats.

the costs are somewhere else i'm assuming! there's an SDC 40mm grenade launcher in the RMB, but i'm assuming you mean MDC stuff. merc ops is my usual solution for ammo questions, but it came up dry too, with only a (totally different) SDC 40mm grenade. if you're in a serious pinch, you can use the costs for hand grenades on page 204 of the RMB, i doubt the players will question much there.

The Rifts setting is pretty sparse when it comes to giving sizes for weapons (unlike Robotech), the only 40mm weapon systems I am aware of in Rifts (incomplete library) would be:
1. guns for various warships in WB7 (pg136-7)
2. a net launcher in WB9 pg136 (NP-10 Plasma Net Launcher)
3. Rifts MercOps pg121 has a 40mm Grenade Launcher Rifle and Separate Add-on for SDC weapons

MercOps pg122 lists various Conventional Guns & Ammo cost with a "40mm Grenade Cartridge, 900 credits (per 100)", this leads me to think the grenades are regular grenades, but work with an add-on cartridge (9credits for an SDC grenade seems too cheap even in Rifts) to be launched.
