Barrel mounted M203 question?

[El Diablo]

So my question is this, does putting a barrel mounted M203 on a KWA M16 cause any barrel damage/wobble?

I really like the looks of barrel mounted M203s and would really like to get one I just don't want to mess up the barrel to the gun I JUST bought!

If you do it right it shouldn't.

[Mr. Technicality]

The mounts might mark up your barrel a little bit, but that should only be visible when the handguard and M203 are taken off. Hardly significant.

If your gun has rails, get a QD mount 203 and you should be golden.

this is an m203s. It's really short, and you have to use short shells. I have no damage other than the parts that clamp to the rail (a little scratching), but no big deal.

Alright thanks guys! I just wanted to clear that up before I bought one!

Yep. I have a 203 mounted to my KWA's with a barrel mount.

No issues.

What sort of range and spread do you get from your 203? I have yet to see one used at a game and I've wondered how effective they are.

Multiple factors will determine this. Payload ( bbs,nerf footballs), type of shell and propellant. I personally like the madbull pb 4 which is a multi payload shell ( paintballs, bbs, flour or whatever). It is charged with co2 @ 500 psi which makes a healthy pop when you fire it. a football will typically go 100 ft +-.

Are you recommending this launcher?

With that unit firing bbs, what kind of approximate range and spread do you get?

Thanks.

With that shell, CO2--ot propane--and, filling the shell half full of .20 BB's I can put BB's about as far as an AEG will shoot. The spread at 100' is about 10' in radius. I rarely hit anything that way. They're fun, though, and everybody turns around and looks.

Yes, although I own the classic army launcher which has been great.Very similar. I have not seen any brands really be troublesome. All they really are is a piece of pipe to guide the payload plus a mechanism to engage the shell primer. I like the QD mount as you can readily move it from gun to gun to stand alone mount without much fuss.

Agreed, the shot gun like BOOM really is a head turner, and it has a pretty significant psychological effect on the op. Lots of people grab some ground when you torch one off.

i usually look for the shooter, 'cause i know there's a good chance his finger isn't anywhere near the trigger of his rifle.
