Depends on the gun you want to mount it on. Be a bit more specific.

There are spring ones, and gas ones. Less expensive ones and outrageously priced ones.

When you know which gun it's for, you can start by checking out the International websites to see what's available, then check the Reviews, and then ask if your answer is not there.

You can try checking out the Madbull X-M203 (long ver.).I have one on my ICS M4A1 that has the S.I.R. system,and my concern was the weight! I too liked the G&P but for me the Madbull is a little lighter and goof proof,it's all metal,just a little different layout.If you want to check out pic's,Depot53.com (U.S. web page) has pic's.It's all in what your looking for! Oh and it's a bit cheeper than the others.

Please elabourate on goof proof? I fail to see how an m203 real or airsoft is complicating at all you simply depress the button on the side, slide the barrel forward, insert a round and close the barrel. Then disengage the safety and pull the triger. not to many steps you can fuck up on.

Again, for WHICH GUN? By WHICH COMPANY?

Grenade launchers are meant to fit some specific guns, you have not told us what gun yet, so we cant be more precise in our answers.
And in your profile, if you bothered to be a bit more precise as to your location, maybe someone local to you would help you better?

Isn't the S system made only by TM?

Probably, but I'm tired of trying to read minds. If he wants correct information, it's up to him to provide basic data.
Not just him, but anyone who asks questions.

What is so hard to say "I have a Marui M4A1 S-system AEG" ?

FYI

M203 launchers have very little pratical use. They are heavy and if you dont have a metal body, its a shitload of stress on your gun. Its rather akward to hold your gun. They shower a shitload of BBs($$), but the range is terrible. I have yet, in all my games, every seen someone get a kill with an M203.
So with the terribly short range, what can you do with it? CQB? naw, its to big and bulky for CQB, anyone with a GBB can pop around a door and smoke you before you can swing the end of your gun up.
I seen some people put an M203 on their upgraded guns, but its not like you use it when the enemy gets to close to safley use your gun...since you only get one shot, pulling to a GBB is still better.

some people like them, and thats fine. my personal oppinion is that aside from a neat looking self ornament, the cons outweight the goods.

I am looking for an Academy m203 but i have yet to find one. M203s are pretty useless but the model kit im looking for holds a large battery, so it does have a nice use .

if you find one, report back. a battery mod M203 never crossed my mind.

On some posts (U.S. & Can.) some people were having prob's with the Locking system,jamming after heavy use.The Madbull does not use the same set-up as they use a simple heavy pin that just slids in place and locks it! And just less moving parts,less too go wrong! Thats all I ment by "goof proof".I'v seen someone even try to force them shut when there having problems sliding them back to chambering another round.It's not that big of a deal unless you use it lots (can't see it,but it happens I guess!).It's more looks that anything,but it's still fun just to blow off a few rounds!

I see both company and model, so no mind reading is needed.

Anyway, I have seen a lot of kills made by launchers. So if you use it corectly it will not be a heavy lumb of useless metal. I use the madbull XM203S launcher whitch is short and handy.
The thing with launchers are not the launcher it self, but the granartes. Many people complain about stuck valves and busted o-rings, leading to malfunctions of the weapon. So use quality granates in a launcher that fits the weapon. If I remenber corectly the TM M4-S has a S.I.R. system fittet, so you will need a launcher that goes om to a 20mm rail.

Me in action with a HKM4D-SD Interceptor fittet with a XM203S launcher:
