The fighter of the fire support of a separate assault unit in the Bakhmut direction spoke about the peculiarities of the use of automatic grenade launchers. According to Yuri grenade launcher, each of the arms has its pros and cons. "For example, AGS-17 is light. His 30 mm pomegranate flies a little further, but because it is light-bouncing during a shot. Because of this grenade, the grenade is big. There is no need for a shotgun," the fighter says.
At the same time, the American MK19 has no problems with accuracy. Stormtroopers say they put grenades directly into the embrasure of hostile dona. However, he has another feature - MK19 is almost twice more difficult than the Soviet AGS. This requires more people to carry it. Both Soviet and American grenade launchers Ukrainians from the US diaspora transferred optics and mounting strips for both grenade launchers.
The report states that the Ukrainian military quickly mastered firing MK19 from closed positions. Yes, the shooting range increases by 2 km. To install the right angle, the fighters use an electronic angular meter, which was bought in a regular construction store. "For such artillery shooting requires a tablet with" nettle ", a compass and an electronic angular meter, which we put on the barrel. They are on magnets. We set a corner and work," Yuri explains.
