917th SFS train with the M203

Airman First Class Clint Melancon observes Airman First Class Trevor Forman fire a 40mm training round at a target on the 203 Range at Barksdale Air Force Base, La., Nov. 4, 2010. Airman Forman was taking the time to get a little practice in with the M203 Grenade Launcher. The M203 Grenade Launcher is a lightweight, single-shot, breech-loaded 40mm weapon designed especially for attachment to the M4 Carbine and the M16A2/A4 Rifle. It creates a versatile combination weapon system capable of firing both 5.56mm rifle ammunition as well as the complete range of 40mm high explosive and special purpose ammunition. Airman Forman is part of the 917th SFS team that will compete in the first-ever Global Strike Challenge, which concludes Nov. 16 – 17 in the Bossier Shreveport area. (U.S. Air Force photo/Tech. Sgt.
