Also known as: АГС-30
The AGS-30 Atlant is a Russian-designed automatic Grenade Launcher. Introduced in 1995, currently in production in the Russian Federation and in service with the Russian armed forces.
Designed as the improvement of AGS-17, the AGS-30 provides better mobility, longer range and better accuracy during firing. Significantly lighter than its previous version, the AGS-30 weighs 30 kg loaded, meaning it can be carried by one person. Using a specially designed GPD-30 grenade (30×29mm), the AGS-30 can engage targets at 2100m.
It is usually mounted on a Tripod or a Turret, or used as part of a remotely controlled Weapon system, mounted on various combat vehicles.
