VSS Vintorez and SVU-AS Sniper Best Killer

The VSS  Vintorez Sniper Rifle is designed to be used with the PSO-1-1 telescopic sight, derived from the PSO-1 of the SVD; at night, this may be switched with the NSPU-3 3.46x image intensifying telescopic sight. In addition, the PKS-07 telescopic collimator sight and the PKN-03 night vision scope of the AS Val may be used with the VSS. Backup iron sights are also available. No other scopes will fit on the VSS  Vintorez Sniper mounts without a lot of modification or a special adapter.

The case for the VSS Sniper Rifle is 450mm wide and 140mm thick. The VSS Sniper was designed specifically for the assassination role; included with the cost of the weapon is a case big enough for the broken down rifle, a PSO-1-1 telescopic sight, an NPSU-3 image intensifier, and two 10-round magazines. (The image intensifier and the magazines are not included in the cost of the weapon below).

This VSS Vintorez Russian sniper rifle was developed in tandem with the AS Silent Assault Rifle, and is essentially the same weapon with a longer and heavier barrel. While the AS Rifle is designed for “general” special operations use by troops needing a silenced weapon, the VSS Sniper Rifle (more commonly called the Vintorez, meaning “thread cutter”) is meant for use as a sniper’s or assassin’s weapon. The VSS is also related to the MA Vikhr short assault rifle, though there are many differences between the Vikhr and the VSS and most parts will not interchange. The VSS was first issued for service in 1987, but not generally known about in the West until the mid-1990s.

Other than the slightly longer barrel, the VSS Vintorez uses a silencer optimized specifically for the SP-6 AP cartridge. The stock appears to be derived from that of the SVD, but is more rounded and compact, and has a ventilated recoil pad. Operation is by gas and with a closed bolt; the VSS is known for an exceptionally-smooth action that is quiet and interferes little with the sniper’s accuracy. The VSS has two selector switches; one takes the weapon on and off of safe, and the other allows for semiautomatic or automatic fire. The automatic fire capability of the AS has been retained and the VSS can also be employed as an assault rifle; however, prolonged use of automatic fire (according to some sources) may damage the silencer. The barrel is a mere 7.87 inches long, though the silencer appears to make this much longer. The VSS Vintorez Sniper is normally used with 10-round magazines, but can use any magazine designed for the VSS or AS rifles.

KPB VSK-94 Sniper Rifle 

VSK-94 Sniper Rifle

Like most Russian small arms, the scope mount is on the right side of the receiver; this may mount a telescopic sight (normally a 4x scope), but Russian night vision or laser aiming devices may also be used. The VSK-94 Sniper also retains the iron sights of the 9A-91 rifle. The selector is noted for being almost silent in operation. The VSK-94 Sniper Rifle can be carried in a case similar to that of the VSS, though slightly larger.


This is similar in appearance and function to the VSS Vintorez (below); however, the VSK-94 is a later development, based on the 9A-91 light assault rifle and meant to be a lower-priced competitor to the VSS. The VSK-94 also fires SP5 and SP6 ammunition, and has a fixed skeletonized stock similar to that of the VSS. (The stock can be detached if desired, but is not a folding stock, and the pistol grip is part of the stock.) It retains the basic operation of the 9A-91 assault rifle, and therefore is
capable of automatic fire. The VSK-94 has a longer barrel than the VSS at 9.06 inches, and the entire weapon is also somewhat longer.

Sniper complex, based on 9A-91 small-sized assault rifle and S-Set "Nightflame". Almost similar to "Vintorez". Shots in burst : 5
