Certainly more for show than usefullness. They can be quite effective in CQB. But all in all, they are best at adding that wow effect to a game.

They're quite useful, in my opinion. Imagine taking up to 160 shots from a gas gun at once. I always downloaded mine a bit for just a little more range... But 80ish rounds is nothing to ignore... Sure, its a few extra pounds to carry... But I always looked at it this way: If my mags were dry, i'd still have a couple more rounds in 40mm shells to carry me over. Plus, a 3 foot long cloud of gas is just flippin sweet.  Also: This is Jacko. Jacko loves him some 40mm too.  |

Cool, thanks for the feedback. I can see where they'd be useful in clearing bunkers and rooms and such, or just some good old-fashioned overkill.
What's the average range of these things?

Comparable to that of an AEG. 40 yards or so... longer if you 'lob' it.

This is a video I made(You only have to watch the beginning). I set the camera down so it could film the action and still fight. They shot 3 203's into that room and killed 3/5 guys. They did this again another time and the only reason Enki and I lived was placement and luck. If we would have been just mozying around I'm sure they would have cleared that room in about 5 seconds. www.youtube.com/watch?v=I7uBMkyvJeM |

At the SFOD field coming up for Meltdown or even at Gold Rush it would have been very usefull. The town was set up nice. I mean, ask Skypilot, he was walking around with his shotgun that was basically a M203 that just took longer to load (Had to load it like when you go hunting with blackpowder) I dont know if I would call it because I wouldnt know if it was a ricochet but I mighty call out if I got nade showered. I mean with 160BBs falling ontop of me I think Ill call out knowning ATLEAST ... 30 of them weren't ricochets. |

I've always wanted to get some of the foam rockets for games that use vehicles and such. I think 203's are cool, but I've never actually used mine in a game. Just never had a good opportunity to unload some sweet, hot grenade action!

I've only used mine(203) a few times as well, but when you do you'll be greatfull you had it, theres nothing worse than being cornered or pinned down and advanced on...and when you peek out for a visual you realise the high speed SOB has you dead to rights...Why? cuz you've been raped by you're own engagement limit. I've had that happen before and yeah it sucks but thats how the game works, but thanks to airsoft we can learn from our mistakes from an AEG not a bullet, unfortunatly a privlidge given only to airsofters. From those lessons I've learned to take both a side-arm and a 203 on every game. Theres always a situation where you can be forced out of you're engagement limits and are helpless to defend yourself unless you employ these counter-measures. Point being YES, M-203s are as usefull if not more usefull than a side-arm and are essential for the rifleman who carrys an upgraded weapon.

I dont know if I would call it because I wouldnt know if it was a ricochet but I mighty call out if I got (I'm a counterstrike poseur!) showered. I mean with 160BBs falling ontop of me I think Ill call out knowning ATLEAST ... 30 of them weren't ricochets. Shiiiiit if I hear that bang and the following shower of bbs hitting branches and such, I'm calling myself out regardless if I felt a hit. Mostly it's because it scared the piss out of me, and it's a 203. |

And its the honorable thing to do, which is what airsoft is all about, besides lookin badass (which the 203 adds to as well)
