In honor of the M203 grenade launcher in Call of Duty 4 (often called the noob tube by frustrated gamers who can't form an effective strategy to combat a player using it) here is a video of an actual M203 in action, in the hands of my wife.







At The Basic School every company holds an event where spouses, friends, and family come to work with you and get to look at and and sometimes use real military equipment. At this event my wife, gamertag BattleItch, gets to fire an M203 grenade launcher attached to an M16. She aims at the right lateral limit sign to the right of the screen (notice the puff of orange smoke when the training round impacts) and manages to hit it. She was either very good or very lucky, because aiming the M203 at that range with the leaf sight is very difficult. Unfortunately, that sign is one of the few things on the range you are not supposed to shoot. She forgot that part. GG.
