40mm M203

Could we possibly get a M203 attachment that uses none lethal ammunitiion like flashbangs,gas,etc since we do have other grenade launchers, but this feels like it would be a bit more useful in my opinion

The M320 is basically the new M203. It can be mounted under-barrel on most AR/M series rail systems. I can tell you from experience both systems have extreme limitations when under-barrel versus standalone. Out of the two I prefer the M320 if it is mounted. The handle sits slightly farther back then a normal tommygun grip but its thick enough to help support the extra front weight, especially loaded. On a old school M16A2 I'd take the M203 all day, but its longer and can spread the weight out.

But I agree with you, I'd love the option

I know about the M320 but seeing as it was relatively new to the army, I thought it would make a bit more sense a police department would have had the M203 instead since there would have been surplus for it, there is also the fact the M203 is generally cheaper to buy as well.

Great points, I agree. It would have its place in the armsroom along with the other historic items like the MP's and old shotguns.

Surprisingly it took a long time for police to generally get well funded as historically they were quite underfunded and it wasn't until like the Late 1990's and early 2000's they started getting some serious hardware with things like Glocks being standardized along with some other sophisticated equipment

Didn't know that. It would be neat if they added the dates of service in the weapons description. Like the .357 from 1950-1998 (I made this up). Currently the info is pretty vague.
