I think they're only included here since that specific faux launcher doesn't have its own page. The Cobray launcher has [[Cobray 37mm Launcher|its own page]].

== M203PI info needed == | |||
I've been going through a few of the M203 entries and correcting some of them to RM Equipment M203PIs, which show up a lot more than I would have guessed. However I have come across a standalone version which is annoying me. I first saw it on the ''[[Terminator Salvation]]'' page where I assumed that it had a plastic shell over the top of another stock, however i have since found the exact same stock in ''[[The Rock]]'' and the 2003 ''[[Italian Job, The (2003)|The Italian Job]]'', so I decided this was not the case. After much searching I came across [http://www.arniesairsoft.co.uk/reviews/m203_pistol/m203pi.jpg this] graphic which shows the launcher, but it is a crappy MS paint tracing from an Airsoft site with no info or a real photo. Does anyone know anything about this? The launcher is definitely an M203PI, but is the stock made by another company or is it a now discontinued RM Equipment one? | |||
On the topic of the M203PI, does anyone know if RM equipment made an M4 interbar which wasn't a SOLA? [http://www.imfdb.org/wiki/File:Unisol2_08.jpg This] launcher from ''[[Universal Soldier: The Return]]'' is an M203PI but the interbar is different from the SOLA. It is similar but does not wrap around the mag well, looking like it is attaches more in the fashion of a normal M203. If anyone could provide info about any of this that would be great, as the RM Equipment website is pretty lacking. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] ([[User talk:Commando552|talk]]) 17:49, 4 March 2013 (EST) | |||

M203A2
That is not an M203A2. The A2 mounts to the barrel just like both earlier 203s. The only difference between the A2 and the original 203 is the QD barrel clamp originally introduced with the A1. See for yourselves - [1] [2] Spartan198 20:56, 7 November 2011 (CST)

RIS M203
Is there a real M203 that uses this style RIS mount, or is it an airsoft only thing? [3][4] Alex T Snow 20:30, 30 November 2011 (CST)

- No, that mount is airsoft-exclusive. Such a system likely wouldn't securely hold a real steel 203 in place for very long once firing commenced. Spartan198 21:06, 30 November 2011 (CST)
- Okay, thanks :) Alex T Snow 21:55, 1 December 2011 (CST)
Fake M-203s
Is it proper to include movies like Scarface or Heartbreak Ridge here since it is pretty well known/acknowledged the launchers in them were faux-203s? Not nitpicking...just wondering. --Charon68 20:00, 11 March 2012 (CDT)
I think they're only included here since that specific faux launcher doesn't have its own page. The Cobray launcher has its own page. Spartan198 23:05, 11 March 2012 (CDT)
M203PI info needed
