Dear Half-Mast,
What sights are needed for the M203 grenade
launcher? I have heard the leaf sight is all you really need.
SPC D.P.
Dear Specialist D.P.,
All of the M203 grenade launchers (M203, M203A1, and M203A2) should be
equipped with both the leaf and quadrant sights. The leaf sight is generally what’s
used most during Fring because it’s the easiest to use. But it’s only effective up to
250 meters. The quadrant sight, however, lets you Fre out to 350 meters.
