Ukrainian company Precision Systems developed a miniaturized handheld version of AGS-17 called RGSh-30[1] "in order to create a grenade launcher that could respond to the needs of Ukrainian units and special forces operating in the Donbas" that can be carried like an assault rifle. RGSh-30 is designed to disable armored vehicles.[2][3][4] RGSh-30 uses magazines with five 30mm VOG-17 grenades.
