Wp

As MAB32 said, it must have something to do with a treaty, I can understand the Army doing away with them because Joe snuffy couldnt throw them far enough, but if that was the sole reason for getting rid of them I would imagine that the Army would field a lighter WP Grenade. From what I have read at center for army lessons learned it doesnt look like such a replacement is in the works.

Too bad.

Even when I checked for a WP round for the M203, the latest FM 3-22.31 lists no WP round in the ammunition section. A damned shame.
