It gets into a gray area because in real world warfare having a gun mounted 40mm grenade launcher with high explosive ammo, would give you a huge advantage, but I think it can be fixed with real world solutions.
It's not really a gray area because Battlefield has never been a realism/simulator experience. Explosives are being nerfed because there are too many maps based on chokepoints and explosives ruin those maps.
Either way, a better fix is what I mentioned with 203's. Close range 203's wouldn't prime and the round wouldn't go off.
Realism or no realism the game uses factual weapons in a modern combat setting and you can't just remove it. It's certainly lame to pull a call of duty and just make the 203 do half the damage.
