Sounds like a coer story to me.

Possibly they took some 40mm Mk19 automatic grenade launcher ammo (which is hotter) and tried to shoot them through the M203 tube which is slung under the barrel of the M16.

What difference does that make???

Until we know the circumstances, mindless and silly speculation as to cover-up is futile and serves no purpose.

Big enough to kill 3 Americans fighting for your right to post silly comments.

What's your point?

It may be that new type that is supposed to fire the round above the enemy and explode when it is directly over their position.
