The weapon is usually equipped with a tripod and a PAG-17 2.7× telescopic sight; it can also have back-up iron sights installed.
A unique feature of the AGS-40 is a detachable seat that allows for more stable shooting using the weight of an operator.

7P39P and 7P39U practice rounds
Development of the AGS-40 started in 1980 but stalled after the dissolution of the Soviet Union and the subsequent economic decline in Russia. However, the project was revived in the early 1990s under the codename "Balkan", and was put into operational evaluation in 2018. State tests have been successfully completed and the weapon has been recommended for introduction into service as of March 2021. The first serial batch was delivered in January 2022. AGS-40 can be installed on armored vehicles. The AGS-40 can be integrated with Kalashnikov MBDU remote weapon station.
