The M-203 is a grenade launcher for a single US-made ballistic missile. The catcher fires 40 mm grenades of various types.

The M-203 was originally designed for the M16 assault rifle in the late 1970s, but is now also installed on other types of rifles, such as the CAR15, M4, Galil / Galilon, Tavor and even Kalashnikov . The pin attaches to the weapon on or in place of the lower front bracket.

Munitions

Molotov cocktail ammunition comes in the form of a 'bullet', meaning ammunition in which the grenade is one with a metal pod containing gunpowder.

The M203 launcher fires 40 mm grenades for efficient ranges from one to 400 meters, depending on armament.

​

• Spray (against a person) - When a grenade hits the target, it explodes and disperses a spray intended to injure people, similar to a hand grenade.

​

• Tear gas (against demonstrators) - On the other hand, due to the limitations of the weight and size of the pomegranate, it carries a limited amount of gas, relative to other means of dispersing gas.The use of a missile launcher to fire a tear gas grenade at demonstrators makes it possible to do so from a large range, thus reducing the risk that the wind will carry the gas cloud that releases the grenade back into a small force and reduces the risk of friction with the demonstrators.

​

• Anti-tank missiles (anti-tank - Armored combat vehicle missiles) - Of the weight and size limitations, the hollow charge in this pomegranate does not provide much armor penetration capability.

​      The grenade contains a hollow charge that explodes as soon as the target hits.

​

• smoke - This pomegranate sprays smoke after hitting the target, for marking or hiding.

​

• Practice (Inert) - This ball is used to practice the shooter loading and operating the launcher. 

      A ball similar in appearance to a "spray" or "anti-tank" ball (see above) but does not contain 

      explosives or gunpowder.

​

• lighting - Time of flight The grenade breaks down, a small light charge ignites a small parachute unfolds when connected to the light charge.This grenade was shot in a steep trajectory above the target. During the flight, the grenade breaks down, a small light charge ignites and a small parachute opens when connected to the light charge.

Specifications

Its own narrow, self-contained projectile as well as its own dedicated targets mounted on the upper front or rear position on the top of the weapon.

The M203 is mounted on or on the lower front ridge of the assault rifle.

The cartridge does not have a cartridge or an ovary and there is room for only one ball, which the shooter needs to load manually.

Loading or firing from the launcher does not delay or affect the charging or firing of the turbo.

​

The shooter inserts the ammo into the chamber and slides the barrel back into its lock.

Clicking on a dedicated lever on the side of the castor causes the acne sling to slide slightly forward on the rail, exposing the chamber of the weapon.

These actions claim the projectile and require the internal combustion mechanism (the firing mechanism in the projector operates as a "single operation").

Grenade Grenade The bulb of the barrel The empty shell remains in the chamber.

In order to shoot, the shooter moves the catapult to the firing position, aiming at the target and pressing the trigger pin.

Another act of opening the barrel, for loading a new ball, will result in the release of the empty rucksack that had been left before and for his discharge.
