Missiles for the M203


Some weight reduction could be realized with the elimination of the dust cover. A lengthy DARPA or Army Research Laboratory (ARL) study could further validate.

#1 So, could you fire it from a bloop gun?

#2 Next a mini-nuke for its delivery package, allowing integrated troops with disabilities (ITDs) to have massive fire power from their tracked wheelchairs. (do I need to put a /sarc on that?)

#3 Even needing to modify the existing 203s, this would be very worth it. A little extra cost for a hell of a lot more bang.

#5 Put some jump jets on that ITD and you are a Heinlein fan.

#6 Yeah, the MI had shoulder-launched nukes. And 30-second time delayed grenades that ANNOUNCED their delay. Then counted down.

#8 "You don’t even have to start by lasing. You can launch it, just as long as you get the laser on it before it hits its apogee and starts coming down. For a long shot like that, you could probably lase 15 seconds after launch.”

There are possibilities here.
