    40mm > 30mm and a little more diameter = a lot more volume for HE and frag.

      >more HE and frag
      40mm grenades are weak as shit and less velocity=less accuracy. 30x113 is superior in every way.

    Mk19 doesn't have a power requirement and can provide better indirect fire.

    Wait wait wait. The Mk-19 shoots 40x53mm Grenades but the M203 Shoots 40x46mm Grenades, Logistically wouldn't it make more sense for them both to shoot 40x46?

      M203's aren't strong enough to handle the extra pressure of the high velocity grenades fired by the mk-19.
      I guess giving the mk-19 more velocity was more important to them than making sure the ammo was interchangeable between both systems.

      The M32A1 can shoot both.

      M203 40mm don't have enough pressure to cycle an action like the mk19. The way the belts work on the mk19 is weird too but idk if that came before or after the decision to make a higher pressure round.
