The BS-1 RGA-86 "Tishina" (БС-1 «Тишина») / BS-1M 6S1 "Kanareyka" is a silenced Soviet 30mm grenade launcher. It was developed specifically for the Spetsnaz. It uses a bolt-action mechanism to load blanks into the chamber along with the 30mm grenade VOG-T (ВОГ-Т). Pulling the trigger ignites the blank which propels the grenade from the barrel by pushing forward a piston.
