DSR-1 Sniper Rifle Made British Licensee

This DSR-1 Sniper Rifle is has been a big seller, both from AMP Technical Services in Germany and its British licensee, CQB Rifles. The DSR-1 Subsonic is an integrally-silenced sniper rifle, using a reduced-charge 7.62mm NATO round that CQB calls ".308 Subsonic." Most of the DSR-1 Subsonic is identical to the standard DSR-1 Sniper Rifle, but the DSR-1 sniper rifle uses a silenced barrel assembly that is fixed directly to the receiver (most silenced barrels are separate from the receiver). Therefore, while the barrel has an integral silencer, it is still a free-floating barrel, producing high accuracy for a silenced rifle.

The DSR-1 (Defensive Sniper Rifle-1) design evolved from the Erma SR-100, and is used by GSG-9, police SRT, and KSK, as well as some elite units of other Western European countries. It is a bullpup design, with a wider choice of calibers and a Picatinny rail optics mount to allow it to use many different sights. The barrel is free-floating for better accuracy. The bipod is attached to the barrel shroud by the top, and there is another Picatinny rail under the barrel for mounting a foregrip or additional optics. 



The barrel is match-grade and quick-change capable, and has a very efficient muzzle brake. The selector lever for the weapon has three positions: safe, heavy trigger pull, and light trigger pull, and the trigger is further adjustable for fine-tuning. Though the DSR-1 Sniper Rifle looks like it uses two magazines, the front magazine well is to place a magazine for quick reloading or to allow a quick change between ammunition types, and does not actually feed the weapon. The accuracy advertised by the manufacturer is almost unbelievable, but it is a very accurate weapon.
