Kornyakov.[11] This lightweight weapon was to provide infantry with close to medium range fire support against enemy personnel and unarmored targets, like trucks, half-tracks, jeeps and sandbag-protected machine-gun nests. The first prototypes of the new weapon entered trials in 1969, with mass production commencing in 1971.[11] The AGS-17 was widely operated and well-liked by Soviet troops in Afghanistan as a ground support weapon or as a vehicle weapon on improvised mounts installed on armoured personnel carriers and trucks.[1] A special airborne version of the AGS-17, the AG-17A, was developed for installation on helicopters, including the Mi-24 Hind in gun pods and the Mil Mi-8 on door mounts. This weapon had a thick aluminium jacket on the barrel and used a special mount and an electric remotely controlled trigger.[11][12] It is still in use with the Russian army as a direct fire support weapon for infantry troops; it is also installed in several vehicle mounts and turrets along with machine guns, guided rocket launchers and sighting equipment. It is being replaced by the AGS-30 launcher, which fires the same ammunition, but weighs only 16 kg unloaded on the tripod and has an upgraded blowback action. Specifications Mass 31 kg Length 840 mm Cartridge 30×29mm grenade Caliber 30 mm Action Blowback Rate of fire 400 round/min Muzzle velocity 185 m/s Effective firing range 800 to 1,700 m Feed system 29 grenades belt Sights Adjustable iron sights, optional mount required for optical sights The Mk 19 is a belt-fed, blowback-operated, air-cooled, crew-served, fully-automatic weapon that is designed not to cook off. It fires 40 mm grenades at a cyclic rate of 325 to 375 rounds per minute, giving a practical rate of fire of 60 rounds per minute (rapid) and 40 rounds per minute (sustained). The weapon operates on the blowback principle, which uses the chamber pressure from each fired round to load and re-cock the weapon. The Mk 19 can launch its grenade at a maximum distance of 2,212 meters (2,419 yd), though its effective range to a point target is about 1,500 meters (1,600 yd), since the large rear leaf sight is only graduated as far. The nearest safe distance to launch the grenade is 310 meters in training and 75 meters in combat. Though the Mk 19 has a flash suppressor, it serves only to save the eyesight of its operator, not concealing the weapon’s position. For night operation, a picatinny rail quadrant sight can be added for thermal and night vision optics. The Mk 19A is a man-portable crew-served weapon that can fire from a tripod-mounted position or from a vehicle mount, with the latter being the preferred method, as the weapon alone weighs 77.6 pounds (35.2 kg). The primary ammunition for it is the high-explosive dual-purpose M430 grenade. On impact, the grenade can kill anyone within a radius of five meters, and wound them within a radius of 15 meters. It can also punch through 2 inches (5.1 cm) of rolled homogeneous armor with a direct hit (0-degree obliquity), which means it can penetrate most infantry fighting vehicles and armored personnel carriers. It is especially effective when used against enemy infantry formations. The ammunition comes in cans that hold a 32- or 48-grenade belt weighing 42 and 60 pounds (19 and 27 kg), respectively. Due to its low recoil and comparatively light weight, it has been adapted for use on many different platforms Specifications Mass 77.6 pounds (35.2 kg) (empty, without accessories) Length 43.1 inches (1,090 mm) Barrel length inches (413 mm) Width inches (240.4 mm) Height 7.8 inches (199 mm) Cartridge 40×53 mm Action Blowback (advanced primer ignition) Rate of fire 360–390 rpm (cyclic) 40 rpm (sustained) 60 rpm (rapid) Muzzle velocity 750–790 feet per second (230–240 m/s) (average) Effective firing range 1,500 m (1,600 yd) Maximum firing range 2,212 m (2,419 yd) Feed system 32- or 48-grenade belt Source: DVIDS, МО РФ 🇺🇸 💪 🇺🇸 💪 🇺🇸 💪 🇺🇸 💪 🇺🇸 💪 🇺🇸 💪 🇺🇸 💪 🇺🇸 💪 🇺🇸 💪 🇺🇸 💪 EDIT: Music: YouTube Audio Library Mantage: Sony Vegas Pro 13 Translated by Google Translator 🇺🇸 💪 🇺🇸 💪 🇺🇸 💪 🇺🇸 💪 🇺🇸 💪 🇺🇸 💪 🇺🇸 💪 🇺🇸 💪 🇺🇸 💪 🇺🇸 💪 ©️✅ Copyright.
