    This is hearsay but I was led to believe that the NZ army tested rifle grenades prior to adopting the 203 and the recoil would rattle the AUG to bits. I have read suggestions regarding the British CLAW of the nineties knocking the SA80 scope out of zero. But the 203 is said to do that to the standard scope on the AUG as well, although I never experienced that.

    The French, long-time users of rifle grenades, also seem to be moving towards UGLs.
