It was a fun gun to shoot! When the sun was right, you could see it flash off the projectile...

Not “far further” rather “much farther” is the correct usage.

You can legally own a M203 or a M79. Just fill out the forms and pay your money and wait. But all the fun rounds are banned. You can get chalk, CS and smoke rounds.

If I had a Grenade Launcher, some son-of-a-bitch would die.

It was a neat weapon but had some significant disadvantages. To aim it, you had to stick your upper body out of cover for what seemed like a lifetime when people were shooting at you. The round took a while to get there, so if you needed to watch where it went, you had to stay exposed even more seconds.
And the 40mm grenade itself is very small - has to fit within its outside shell and is a little spherical thing - and the fragments are really, really small.
Better than the M203 that followed, in that it actually reloaded faster and wasn't a clunky, angular brush-catching mess like the M16/M203 combination. The M79 was a light, handy and reliable little beast and when nobody was employing automatic weapons in your direction, fun to fire.

getting an m-79 is no problem... getting the 40mm HE rounds is your problem.

I prefer the M79 to the M203. Grenades are very important and a dedicated platform is superior to a dual purpose platform imo. I never felt that the M203 was accurate enough. A M79 grenadier can always carry a rifle too.

All of the 40 mm round now are classified as a low order explosive when you have to have an explosives license now
