I got one. In the XXX: State of the Union, at the very end during the train scene, the main character Ice Cube plays, enters the train by firing his M203 and creating a hole. It was attached to his XM8, but somehow he separated it and had it as a stand alone. So instead of using his XM8, which we can assume still had ammo, he walked around the train with just the M203. In a close quarters environment like that, I dont think it's a good idea. It was even stupid when half way through the train sequence, we discovered, he needed to reload his M203. So he was basically pointing an empty gun around.

No, that 203 would have been nothing more than a glorified baton launcher. He did empty out the XM8 on the train when he blew out the rear windshield before blowing it open with the launcher.

I'm just annoyed that this main character, who's supposed to be a former SEAL, doesn't have any sidearm or backup

Because they cause too much drag for real operators...?

More than that. We had an American soldier in our AO get an ND with an M203 yesterday. Round didn't detonate, but he still had to be medevaced for shrapnel to his leg.

It still fragmented? Crap... I hope he's all right.
