No grenadiers with M203's?

My beloved M203 didn't see any action in Iraq. The problem is this - Indirect fire + blast radius = civilian casualties.

On that same line, most Mk-19s that sat in storage while people clamored over the Ma Deuces. The Mk-19 is a great weapon, just not in an occupied city. Still, I was always glad to have 7x HE and 2x smoke in my leg rig, just in case. I remember clearing one room where a sleepy muj woke up and found himself staring down the barrel of my M203. You've never seen eyes go that wide. He was definitely happy to surrender at that point.
