The 40mm 6G-30 hand-held six-round grenade launcher is designed to destroy manpower and light weapons in the open terrain and in various shelters (open trenches, opposite hill slopes, ravines, etc.). Being simple in design, the 6G-30 offers reliable operation in any conditions. The weapon is most efficient for special police operations, especially those in urban areas.

The grenade launcher fires VOG-25 and VOG-25P rounds with fragmentation and several types of non-lethal grenades.

The revolver-type grenade launcher has a multiple barrel block, rotated by a previously loaded spring. The barrel block includes six rifled grenade launchers similar to a rifle-mounted grenade launcher. The grenade launcher is fitted with a telescopic butt. When fired at a range of 300 m the grenade launcher is rested against a shoulder, and when fired at a greater range, it is rested against a side.
