different ammo has different ranges 2 are 1700 and 1 is 2100 ( GPD-30 ) .. NO IDEA if the AGS-17 can fire the GPD-30.. ( or even how available that round is ) so yes, it may be that we need a GPS-30 in the game. It's on the list to investigate. The AGS-30 though does have an optical sight but so does the AGS-17 for maximum range
