The M203 grenade launcher is a single-shot, 40mm grenade launcher that can be attached to many rifles via barrel mounts or underslung rails, but was originally designed for the U.S. M16 family of assault rifles, including the M4 carbine.


Battlefield 2[]

"The M203 is a 40mm under-barrel grenade launcher mounted on the M16A2. It fires single shot explosive grenades capable of doing significant damage to both infantry and soft targets. It is not as effective against armored vehicles. Thanks to its light weight construction the M203 has a limited impact on the accuracy of the gun to which it is attached."

M203 Grenade Launcher in Battlefield: Bad Company

The M203 is featured in Battlefield: Bad Company and is equipped to the M416 and M16, firing 40mm grenades. They can be effective and deadly in singleplayer, but in multiplayer, they can be difficult to actually achieve a kill with as even a direct hit will only severely damage an enemy.

Grenade launchers are very effective for destroying objects, anything from sheet metal fences to concrete walls, but they are very ineffective against heavily armored vehicles. A player is always required to pull out the leaf sights for the grenade launcher to fire the weapon.
