M203

[Victim]

I'm transfixed with this rig. My question isn't at the rig more the 203 ammo, just a question about the shell it fire's, does it fire the whole thing? or leave the shell in the breach?

Lol, when I first saw this thread I was like "M2O3 - what kinda stupid chemical formula is that?! And what's it doing in this section?!"
I know, I'm a bit stupid sometimes! I didn't realise it was an 0 and not an O!

Anyway, I don't really know anything about weapons, but if I understand your question correctly then the shell stays in the breech (or is ejected after the shot), but the projectile leaves the barrel. But maybe you're talking about something completely different!
Could you give any more information about this M203, to help people like me understand what you're talking about?!

Sorry, lost myself reading it.

When the 203 attachment is loaded with a cartridge, and then fired, does the whole cartridge fire including the cartridge case, or just the actual round?

the round leaves and the case is left behind. heres a diagram to show how the shell works.
