The '''M203 grenade launcher''' is an underbarrel accessory grenade launcher originally developed as part of the SALVO / SPIW projects, a series of trials to produce an advanced rifle for the US Army. A sub-project, NIBLICK, produced a lightweight, low-recoil 40mm grenade round using the high-low pressure venting system devised by the Germans in WW2, and initially developed the [[M79 grenade launcher]] to fire it. | |||
While the SPIW rifles were supposed to use a multi-shot semi-automatic launcher as part of a requirement that was too complicated for its own good, one of AAI's submissions featured a "simplified" single-shot launcher with a sliding breech which acted as both a loading port and a shotgun-like forend for cocking the weapon. While SPIW fell apart, this weapon was salvaged from the project and, with some refinement, was adopted as the M203 in 1968, initially as an accessory for the M16 rifle series with a 12-inch barrel. Since this time, numerous additional variants have been produced, including the 9-inch version for the M4 series, and parts kits have been produced allowing the device to mount to other rifles or be used as a standalone launcher. | |||

The '''M203PI''' (Product Improvement) is a version of the M203 produced by RM Equipment of Miami, introduced in 1987. Mechanically identical to the M203, the M203PI differs from the standard M203 by its method of mounting, which does not use a clamp and allows it to be fitted to weapons other than just the M16 and M4 Carbine, such as FN FAL, FN FNC, AK-47, or the AUG. There are 2 versions of the M203PI, one is mounted via an adapter known as the interbar, and the other is mounted onto the MIL-STD-1913 rail. Both also have standalone versions. | |||
Canada uses a 9" version of the M203PI on their C7 rifles, produced by Diemaco, designated M203A1, which is not to be confused with the M203A1 of the United States. | |||

Two 30 round magazines have been taped together with black gaffer's tape to emulate the way Tony Montana loaded his weapon in the film. What is interesting is that the tape in the movie does really appear to be motion picture gaffer's tape, which would only be common on ... a movie set.]] | |||
A fake 39mm M203 mock-up designed to fire a special pyrotechnic charge. It was originally made by Special Effects Unlimited in the late 1970s, and later used by Stembridge Guns and other Hollywood Rental houses. It was popular in 1980s Hollywood productions prior to the production of the Cobray launcher, most notably appearing in ''[[Scarface (1983)|Scarface]]'' and ''[[Predator (1987)|Predator]]''. | |||

Latest revision as of 16:42, 31 December 2023
The M203 grenade launcher is an underbarrel accessory grenade launcher originally developed as part of the SALVO / SPIW projects, a series of trials to produce an advanced rifle for the US Army. A sub-project, NIBLICK, produced a lightweight, low-recoil 40mm grenade round using the high-low pressure venting system devised by the Germans in WW2, and initially developed the M79 grenade launcher to fire it.
While the SPIW rifles were supposed to use a multi-shot semi-automatic launcher as part of a requirement that was too complicated for its own good, one of AAI's submissions featured a "simplified" single-shot launcher with a sliding breech which acted as both a loading port and a shotgun-like forend for cocking the weapon. While SPIW fell apart, this weapon was salvaged from the project and, with some refinement, was adopted as the M203 in 1968, initially as an accessory for the M16 rifle series with a 12-inch barrel. Since this time, numerous additional variants have been produced, including the 9-inch version for the M4 series, and parts kits have been produced allowing the device to mount to other rifles or be used as a standalone launcher.
NOTE: In some movies and TV shows, the Cobray 37mm Launcher is used to impersonate the M203. For a list of ways to tell the two launchers apart, visit the Cobray 37mm Launcher page.

RM Equipment M203PI
The M203PI (Product Improvement) is a version of the M203 produced by RM Equipment of Miami, introduced in 1987. Mechanically identical to the M203, the M203PI differs from the standard M203 by its method of mounting, which does not use a clamp and allows it to be fitted to weapons other than just the M16 and M4 Carbine, such as FN FAL, FN FNC, AK-47, or the AUG. There are 2 versions of the M203PI, one is mounted via an adapter known as the interbar, and the other is mounted onto the MIL-STD-1913 rail. Both also have standalone versions.
Canada uses a 9" version of the M203PI on their C7 rifles, produced by Diemaco, designated M203A1, which is not to be confused with the M203A1 of the United States.
