For those of you that have an m203 I want to know how often you use it and if you would even recommend me getting a m203.Are they reliable and how many times a game do you use it?

Hold a weapon with a loaded M203 attached first. The weight is one thing, the awkward holding of it is another.

I would talk to my buddy david aka LAAT SSGT. TERRY he has a 203 i believe he is selling it and he used it quite a bit. he knows what it is like.

You tend to lose a lot of the ball bearing that are part of the round itself. I am a big fan of the 203s. I personally think it gives the weapons a more realistic feel (the weapon itself, not the kick from firing a 203). When engaging a group of multiple targets it does its job (as in the trails leading to the treehouse at Nam). I personally think mine was a good investment but thats just me. Most people don't enjoy a 13 lb. assault rifle but personally if 13lbs is what your gonna carry in the field, why not carry it in Airsoft?

They are fun, but not worth the money in my opinion (yes, I have owned one and have since sold it). The grenades can have random issues (leaks, bearings), and take lots of gas/bbs to fill it. I had mine for about a dozen skirmishes, and got 2 kills with it, and I could have simply shot them instead if I really wanted to. Range isn't very good, and if you use .12s to up the range, nobody will ever feel the hits.

Ask around, I am just one person so don't let me deter you. And as for the .12's, you can't feel them at all because the 203 shell doesn't have a high FPS, plus they're half the weight of a standard rifle BB.

I think I already know the answer but I will just ask to make sure.Is there anyway you can increase the fps of the nades by 10-20 fps?Just to give it that extra kick?Thanks again everyone thats helped me out.

I have one that I am trying to get rid of with a tri front rail for a mp5 free gernade (because it rarely works)

Well, you can always look into other gases, larger nades, or warm up your nade prior to firing.

8 mm gets expensive. Real expensive. Small bag of 500 is $13 dollars. Plus, I am not sure someone would appreciate getting hit with that many 8mm. Id be ticked if I got hit with 1.

Is it me or do I sence some fear?lol but would it be against the rules to run 8mm through your nades?I also don't want any hard feelings after shooting anyone with it that one of the major things.
