Little info. I understand that under the shots of the grenade launcher?

[grizzlir]

There is no infa, but the SG can throw much more. If you shoot from the PG with a grenade with a propellant from a grenade to the SG, the return will not be weak.

[Igor]

Maybe they will put it on equipment? And then it will be too heavy for infantry, especially if you climb mountains, in my opinion the AGS-30 is better able to cope with this task.

[luiswoo]

With a grenade it is simple - 7П39 is similar in design to VOG-25, but surpasses it both in mass and in range.
And what kind of beast in the photo is really interesting. Something not similar to the Balkans (nee Kozlik):

Balkan: *
Caliber: 40mm
Weight: 32 kg grenade launcher on the machine + 14 kg box with 20 grenades in the tape
Effective range: up to 2500 m
Temp Shooting: 400 rounds per minute
* taken from here http://world.guns.ru/grenade/rus/balkan-r.html

[grizzlir]

It’s time to switch to a 40 mm caliber. The pluses of the damaging action of a 40 mm grenade are blocked by the minuses of a grenade launcher, the increasing mass of SG.

[8 company]

AGS is a good thing. but it hurts, the infection shakes when shooting. Often, one fighter literally lay down on top of a grenade launcher galloping during firing in order to calm him down. I saw the American version with the rollback of the barrel - a sweet deal! There is practically no rollback. We would like that!

[iSpoiler]

Figs how and who can not just lie down and just sit on the shooting ags ..
Perhaps it’s scary, and even for the commanders there are such if they approve of it ..
and what for it is generally controlled like that, there’s no need for special accuracy, it shoots on the hinged one, the area of ​​destruction is decent, TNT and balls are still needed, the floor is not a bullet / projectile high-precision.
our grenade launchers simply buried part of the tripod legs in the ground / snow, and so did the calculations of LNG and NSV "Utes" ..

[Insurgent]

And what is the weight of an American and a bigger caliber?

[borisst64]

It is strange that ours is more expensive than American.

[viruskvartirus]

And give how much it costs, well, compare the mass XM307 ACSW weighs 23 kg, Mk.19 32 kg, AGS-30 17 kg. Every twist is a mass. And 40 mm have been waiting for a long time talking that it would be nice to put on new armored vehicles. There is also the AGS-57 http://www.dogswar.ru/oryjeinaia-ekzotika/artilleriia/1896-perspektivnyi-stanko.

It is strange that ours is more expensive than American.

SO THERE IS SERIAL PRODUCTION, SEE. Since many years!

[Slevinst]

what was that? immediate prospect, photo names of developers and competitors, immediate prospect is that it is being developed, there is an article about nothing at all, it was necessary to write like this: machine guns, a comparison of characteristics and a casual mention of what we are also developing

[Arct]

Personally, the author is a huge minus from me for not knowing the names of famous Soviet gunsmiths ...
