9mm VSS Special Sniper Rifle and 9mm AS Special Assault Rifle

The VSS special silent sniper rifle is used to destroy hostile personnel in flak jackets and in unarmoured vehicles. The weapon is to be used when noiseless and flameless firing is required. The VSS rifle is most efficient in urban and mountainous terrain.

The rifle fires the 9x39mm SP.5 special sniper rounds at a subsonic muzzle velocity. If necessary, the 9x39mm SP.6 enhanced penetration rounds can be employed, too. The weapon can be quickly field-stripped
and assembled, which facilitates covert transportation. A trigger mechanism provides single-shot and full automatic fire. A selector switch is behind the trigger. The integrated noise suppressor greatly decreases velocity and temperature of powder gases. As a result, level of noise amounts to some 130 dB and equals that of the 22LR smallcalibre sporting rifle.

The VSS sniper rifle can mount the 4x PSO-1-1 optical sight with illuminated cross-hairs. Rounds are fed from a 10-round detachable two-row box magazine which is interchangeble with a 20-round magazine organic to the AS and SR-3 assault rifles. For covert transportation it breaks up into three small parts.
