    "notes": "The AGS-17 is a heavy infantry support weapon designed to operate from a tripod or mounted on an installation or vehicle. The AGS-17 fires 30 mm grenades in either direct or indirect fire to provide suppressive and lethal fire support against soft-skinned or fortified targets.\n\nThe weapon uses a blowback mechanism to sustain the operation. Rounds are fired through a removable (to reduce barrel stress) rifled barrel.\n\nThe standard metal ammunition drum contains 29 linked rounds.\n\nThe tripod is equipped with fine leveling gear for indirect fire trajectories.",
