Indeed. Though one thing that could use improvement on the m203 is the safety catch. I have trouble rearming the safety while wearing gloves, even though my gloves are skintight. If they either made the safety catch alittle wider then the trigger guard or put alittle gap between the guard and the catch it would be much better.

That's more a fault of bad reproduction on some models: the real one has a much wider safety (it extends outside the trigger guard). I have a VFC M203 and it has the correct safety.

Very nice. I have a Classic Army and unfortunately its safety is very narrow.

I wish I could find a mount+ leaf sight like the CF M203 uses... the mount allows you to have the lower handguard with some holes cut into it on with the M203

i feel like grabbing one of them Button activated GL nd slapping on the ribby hand guard from the m203 :P i bet it'll look a lot better that way lol

well also it's hand position. to reach the button, you need to fire the madbull with your thumb or twist your hand to use your index finger.

I like my madbull agx for that. can't beat it mounted with a built in vert grip and full trigger and then holstering it for an ultimate sidearm.

I agree that the Madbull XM-203 is ugly and the button isnt all that great. But at least you dont have to modify it to put the King grenade in it or any of the larger sized grenade shells. And i wish I could get the CF version too as I'm doing my own C-7a1 rifle.

coach · January 26th, 2009, 22:55

okay, so here are the foam rockets that I tried:

There is an opening all the way through the rocket

so at 300psi, it split open like a banana. even though it wasn't a perfect seal above the multi purpose nade, the blast of air still shot through with enough force to cause damage.

I should try it with a regular nade that doesn't send a large volume of gas directly through the middle. Will get a couple more and try a few different things to get it to work. I wonder if just plugging the bottom end with tissue or glue in a foam plug would work.....

One slight issue will be controlling range as my nades are always setup for full power. :/

Yeah... I'm gonna see if I can mod my handguard and the M203 mounting hardware to make it look at least similar to the CF rig...

Cool keep me posted on how it works out.

panzergrenadier · January 27th, 2009, 00:06

Will do!
The hard part is going to be finding the Cf style Leaf sight...
