| Lists on the subject | |
The AGS-30 ( Russian АГС-30: Автоматический станковый гранатомёт 30 , Awtomatitscheskij Granatomjot Stankowyj 30 , in German: lafettierter automatic grenade launcher ) is a machine grenade launcher of Russian origin. The launcher is used on vehicles, boats and helicopters. In the infantry it is used with a 6 kg tripod .
The grenade launcher can easily be integrated into the rifle group as it can only be operated by two soldiers. With an ammunition equipment of 120 shells, each shooter has to carry around 38 kg. The firing position of the thrower can be changed by one person alone, so that the thrower can also be used in a mobile manner in local combat, for example. It also has a handle attached to the tripod.
The belt drum takes 30 shells of 30 × 29 mm B caliber . The types of ammunition available are: WOG-17, WOG-17M and WOG-30 fragmentation grenades. These are fatal within a radius of 7 to 9 m. The rate of fire is 400 rounds per minute. Since the grenade self-destructs after 27 seconds, the maximum range is around 1750 meters. Compared to its predecessor AGS-17 , the weight has been halved to 16.5 kg; a full magazine drum weighs 14 kg. Like the previous model, the weapon is openable ; empty tubes are ejected downwards.
