It's cool that all of this was compressed to fit underneath the barrel of an M16 with the M203 grenade launcher.

The XM148 proved the concept, while the M203 iterated on it with a lot of streamlining. The M79 with a full barrel still shoots softer and flatter than the M203, though for mass use the M203 was an improvement.
