In SOCOM, it can fire fragmentation, high explosive, or smoke grenades. The M203PI model was designed to mount on platforms other than the M16, such as the AK-47, Steyr AUG, and MP5, but this version is unfortunately not featured in any SOCOM game.

- Manufactured by Schweizerische Industrie-Gesellschaft, the Gewehraufsatz 97, named in-game as an M203, is a Swiss single-shot, underbarrel grenade launcher that's designed for NATO weaponry. It uses 40mm M203 Grenade rounds.
- The M203 was designed to replace the M79 grenade launcher; the M79 was a stand-alone device and therefore usually the primary weapon of troops who carried it, and because the size and weight of 40mm ammunition limits the quantities that can be carried on patrol (and because a grenade is often not an appropriate weapon for a given engagement, such as when the target is at close range or near friendly troops), an under-barrel system was conceived as a more versatile replacement. Most obviously, an underbarrel launcher has the advantage of allowing its user to also carry a rifle, and to easily and quickly switch between the two.
- The M203 is a single shot 40 mm grenade launcher designed to attach to a rifle. It uses the same rounds as the older M79 break-action grenade launcher, which utilize the High-Low Propulsion System to keep recoil forces low. Though versatile, and compatible with many rifle models, the M203 was originally designed for the U.S. M16 and its variant, the M4 Carbine. The launcher can also be mounted onto a C7, a Canadian version of the M16 rifle which requires the bottom handguard on the rifle to be removed in order to mount the launcher.
- The M203 40mm CS is a weapon featured in Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six 3: Black Arrow. This 40mm, single-shot, grenade launcher packs quite a large punch in a very small package. This round is a non-lethal option to momentarily incapacitate your enemies if they are not equipped with gas masks.
