That pretty much sums it up.
I have fired an FN prototype that makes the Mk. 19's 40x53mm round firable from a single-shot, shoulder-fired launcher and I would say that I do not think you would want to try that from either the HK or the M203. I was well over 200 pounds, was prepared for heavy recoil, and it damn near broke my shoulder.
