This reminds me of a question I've been unable to answer by
Googling. The 20mm OICW grenade has, so I've read, a mass of about
100g, but I cannot find it's proposed muzzle velocity. Does
anybody recall reading one?

The 25mm OCSW grenade is supposedly thrown at around 400m/s. If
the OICW is similar it would be the equivalent of about a 4 gauge
shotgun.
