This launcher was featured in the resident evil series and it deserves to be mentioned —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.104.226.174 ( talk) 16:27, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
Yeah, but the people who tend to edit these articles hate mentioning video games. Movies are fine no matter how obscure they are since they're watched by 'real people', but since video games are only ever played by a handful of twelve year olds in Japan (or so the consensus by Wikipedia firearms editors would suggest) any mention of them on their articles is religiously purged.

Point conceded, although Wikipedia's policies regarding what can be concidered notable and what can't seems rather curious to me... It's their policy so I can't argue with it. User:CSkankRabbit 17.27 8 May 2008 UTC
Is the weapons system still in service? We may want to mention that either way. 66.191.19.217 ( talk) 20:47, 2 August 2008 (UTC)
When I was in the army back in 1985 we had 3 M202s in our arms room but no one was assigned to use them. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.19.67.80 ( talk) 17:09, 27 June 2009 (UTC)
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?

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.

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)
