thread_title:  Still in service? 

message: I added the term "Grim Reaper". It got removed because it is "dubious" and "no reference". If you google for the M202, you find it a lot of times together with this term. Same happens for the A-10 jet, which is called thunderbolt (official) and warthog (unofficial name) often too. What kind of reference is needed in a case like this plz?

text: I should also note that a lot of this has to do with it's real world performance. It's simply not as accurate, fast or impressive as the general public expects to see with rocket launchers. A big, slow parabolic arc and a puff of white smoke doesn't hold a candle to, say, the RPG-7. Bravo Foxtrot (talk) 01:59, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: Grim Reaper nickname

message: The weapon was in service for such a short period of time that it seems the only enduring cultural memory of it is as "generic box-shaped rocket launcher" in video games and movies. The incendiary aspect is universally ignored, as is the inability to be loaded with HE, and the original name is never mentioned or retained. For this reason I'd be very hesitant to include any "in popular culture" references from movies and video games. I've literally never seen one that was remotely close to the original M202.

message: I was an 0351 in H 2/9 at Camp Schwab, Okinawa in 1976.  I was issued an M202 multi shot flame weapon.  I don't know why Wikipedia says it wasn't produced until 1978. 2603:8001:8603:D7FB:CCFC:A645:5DE:74E5 (talk) 18:52, 16 November 2023 (UTC)
