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)
