From the Wikepedia article:

"Some US Navy SEALs and Army Special Forces in Iraq have been seen deploying the M79 in recent years. Most notably due to its extended accuracy compared to the M203 (350m effective versus 150 m effective on the M203). It is used extensively for small squad-sized units to disrupt IED's from a safe distance, without having to call in EOD"
