An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : dbkwik.org associated with source dataset(s)

The Cobray CM203 37mm flare launcher is not a grenade launcher. It fires distress flares from a 37mm smooth bore and cannot accept 40mm munitions. However, since it looks like an M203 grenade launcher, it is commonly mistaken for one in films on this site. It was built for civilian use as an under slung flare launcher commonly mounted under M16/AR-15s variants and other rifles. It is preferred for most film use over a genuine M203 mainly because, unlike the M203, it is not considered a "Destructive Device" in the U.S. and not subject to NFA regulations.

  • The Cobray CM203 37mm flare launcher is not a grenade launcher. It fires distress flares from a 37mm smooth bore and cannot accept 40mm munitions. However, since it looks like an M203 grenade launcher, it is commonly mistaken for one in films on this site. It was built for civilian use as an under slung flare launcher commonly mounted under M16/AR-15s variants and other rifles. It is preferred for most film use over a genuine M203 mainly because, unlike the M203, it is not considered a "Destructive Device" in the U.S. and not subject to NFA regulations. The Cobray CM203 37mm flare launcher can be distinguished from the Colt M203 based on the following * The M203 is a 40mm launcher capable of firing multiple purpose rounds, the CM203 is a 37mm launcher built specifically as a flare launcher for civilian use. * The CM203 has an M16 style safety switch (on later models), the M203 does not. * The CM203 lacks a second safety trigger in the front of the main trigger, which the M203 has. * The CM203 Flare launcher's trigger guard is more squared when compared to the M203. * The CM203 37mm had an external cocking lever on the side of the receiver, the M203 cocks on closure.
