Yes, that M203 40mm grenade launcher.
I was in Iraq 2007-09. On one of our first patrols, a LT ordered one of his platoon members to patrol with a round in the chamber. Patrol went off without any problems, they returned to the outpost safely. Anyway, fast forward a couple of hours and this soldier was cleaning his weapons and accidentally fired a live HE grenade into his thigh. These rounds generally have to rotate about 8 times to arm before they can explode, so it just embedded into his thigh about 3 inches and stopped. Luckily, the Blackhawk pilot of the medevac had balls of steel and decided to fly him out with unexploded ordinance inside the patient. The grenade was removed and the soldier came back a couple of weeks later, just in time to get a field grade article 15 (punishment). If that round would have missed his leg and bounced around the room, the results would have been terrifyingly different.

I have an m203. It's pretty gay actually. No one will sell you grenades besides smoke. Gaytf never comes and visits either as I search for them

So they have training grenades that still explode but it's less explosive and doesn't even need dd stamp. You occasionally find a grenade that someone has bought and you can buy it from them legally but they want a ton for it from what I have seen. I'm not going to buy a single round for 1000-1500. The grenades and training grenades are relatively cheap when you buy them new. I should just be able to buy them like I buy a suppressor. Storing them legally is ridiculously expensive though

Yeah but that's even more gay. 37mm isn't even rifled. Getting a 203 is easy. It's just pointless

I'd believe it. My buddy was in the Air Force around that time. One time there was a guy who bought a microwaveable Mac and cheese bowl. He didn't add any water and nuked it on high for 10 minutes. The thing caught on fire and he just stood there, watching it. It set off the smoke alarm and someone pulled this tard out of the room and hit it with a fire extinguisher.

Fricking butt-sucking goblins keep your dumpster-fire dead website which is a sorry excuse for an abuser in competition with the biggest abuser of allβredditβ; that's all this is, a painfully despicable shot at usurping reddit as the principle toxic internet forum; keep dreaming bug-brains, you're just a woodlouse trying to take the corner from the fricking centipede. Not even reddit would have banned me for this. But no, they are evolved here because they don't delete posts... what a piling load of fricking horseshit this is. There is no way to have a fair forum in this world, and it's the complacency of the majority that keeps it that wayβthe majority like sucking dirty butthole, let them then.
