The M-203 is just the name for the grenade launcher itself, not the entire gun becuase it has a luancher on it. But the launcher still looks like a standard 203 to me. Maybe a tad shorter to compensate. I'll just call it the 204.

Hum... I seem recall when the grenade tube was mounted to the M-16 the entire weapon was called a M-203.

Watchin' you. Writing it all down.
Its a standard M-203C launcher. Not cut down.

It would be officially designated as an M-XX w/ M-203 grenade launcher. However, it usually ends up being called the grenade launcher or M203 because its a given that the rifle is attached.

Ah.... I used to love to get an M-203 rigged M16 when having to qualify. The extra weight on the barrel always seem to make the rifle shoot much better.

Anyone notice the little keypad on the side of the barrel? Is that some laser range finder?

Yeah it looks like an M4 with a M203, no mystery there.
