In Russia, the Russian sniper complex VSK-94 has been spotted again

During the fighting in the north of Damascus, the Syrian Guard fighters again noticed a silent military sniper complex VSK-94 of caliber 9 mm, reports Messenger of Mordovia.

It is a weapon very rarely gets into the camera lens, and now on the Internet there is a picture of tourists at the front of the guards, one of whom is armed with the VSK-94 complex.

“9-mm VSK-94 has earned the respect of the special forces fighters at whose disposal it is located. And, in fact, this complex has unique characteristics. For example, the so-called “heavy” bullet of the PUB-9 cartridge used by him at a distance of 100 m penetrates a plate of steel in 8 mm. The maximum range of aimed shooting is 400 m, ”writes the author of the publication Roman Katkov.

The weight of the complex without the "optics" and the store is 2,7 kg. Its rate of fire with a single fire - 30 shots per minute, in automatic mode - up to 90 shots. Magazine capacity - 10 or 20 cartridges.

According to some data, the author notes, VSK-94 were purchased in Russia at the end of the 1990-s. The weapons were intended for elite unit fighters.

I agree . Not weapons kill people, but people ...

According to some reports, the author notes, VSK-94 were purchased in Russia in the late 1990s.

Maybe so, or maybe not, why he hadn’t been noticed before, and most importantly, that helps to resolve issues with barmales.

[Chelentanych]

Well, experts had a lot of questions on it: Rusted very quickly, a certain amount of gunpowder burned out behind the muzzle of the muffler, the butt was uncomfortable.
In Syria, a lot of things that have not found application in our country turn out to be true, this also applies to equipment and small arms.

Quote: Chelentanich

... a certain amount of gunpowder burned out already behind the muzzle of the muffler ...

- where did the "unburned gunpowder" come from "behind the muzzle of the muffler"? Well, the one that then "burned"?

[Chelentanych]

This means a flame from powder gases, which this silencer must hide, which he does not do, thus unmasking the arrow at the time of the shot.

Quote: Chelentanich

This refers to the flame from the powder gases that this silencer must hide.

- damn it, but I always thought that the muffler should muffle the sound
- I understand what you mean, thanks

[Aviator_]

The eternal problem of silencers, the first shot is flameless and deaf, but the second one, although deaf, but with a huge torch, burns out products of incomplete combustion of gunpowder - СО, etc.

Gergiev played it in Palmyra that year

[Oden280]

Cheap craft of times of total lack of money. Compared to BCC, it’s like a Stradivarius violin and a balalaika from a music factory. And about 400 meters, this author bent very much, 150 - 200 meters even more or less, and then - this is to the theory of probability.

The machine is great. To clean, however, if you do not regularly then torment yourself. But PAB 9 ... it says a lot of good. But better still SP5, SP6 ....

[megavolt823]

KOT BAYUN Hello! I wrote about this rifle and about BCC. in chorus everything flocked. LITTLE ANALYZES OF ERA. and this rifle is made for the city. it is not crowbar and Kalash. here you need to think. there is AK-9 but no one has not seen it. under the joint venture there is a miscellaneous. but where is it? the whole idea is interesting. but as usual. then he is hot, then a short T-shirt. for those who are far from the topic. the whole point is in the cartridge. more precisely in speed. about unburned gunpowder and others. it is necessary to clean. they say it helps.

[Berber]

Weapons of special forces. At the forefront does not make sense. Well, if only direct fire contact

[megavolt823]

dear! there is such a category of people. which I just want to ask. he understood what he said? what are armed with ORR. OVDBR. and other intelligence. in all connections. 2014 about Crimea video look. tigers. pants are new. and the Kalash are old. you just need to understand that a small clove is beaten with a small hammer. but big, big. the tool should be different. tasks should define weapons. not the color of the pants.

[CAT BAIYUN]

Well, I, in my opinion, I VSK and did not fail.
Worthy thing. Just about the PAB 9 cartridge - probably the first issues and there was nothing, but after that - horror ...
About to clean - if not regularly - agree that it is.
Same as VAL, same as BCC ..
But this does not diminish the advantages of the machine. For the city - what is needed, and not only. If in the fields .. For the second number, then ....
I just did not heed: are you offended by me for commenting?
by the way ... I didn’t see the AK-9, I won’t google it .. Dumb pot :)

[megavolt823]

what insults? a rare person who is able to hear. I read at the top. I didn’t even write to them. wooden waist-high. there were articles like that. about nothing . AK yes. SVD yes. I told them about the concept of AK, weapons of the trench warfare. for mass weapons. who changed a rake on the machine by the will of fate. the stink is wild. I am a traitor. one even issued to the liberals. then SVD to champion highly toxic equal. then vice versa. there is and what is not necessary. they don’t know how to hear. not ready . AK-9 is the same BCC, VSK 94. only on the basis of Kalash. there was a time for a long time did not want to hear. three rulers on stamped. cartridges done. and here is 1941. here it goes again.

[CAT BAIYUN]

...understandably. What am I actually .. I will state my thoughts on this issue .. Any trunk is a tool. No more. For a specific job.
AK - extras, decent accuracy, dependability, simplicity in the service staff - that's why it is appreciated. Plus - the potential for modernization is both on the barrel and on the cartridge. As the Israelis said that another 200 years AK would be used in any wars ... But it can tryndyat - they need to blow their Alpha ... Not the point.
SVD is a great thing. To work in the field. As part of the unit. Awesome reliability. Good accuracy for an automatic rifle. Feels great with a regular PSO and with a good owner. She is capable of miracles in skillful hands.
Accuracy so what would super - do not wait. I do not remember in the corner minutes ... not the point ... because the automatic ... Again, the barrel is chrome (from the inside). Applying chromium in my electroplating make, for any uneven. Even after changing the pitch of rifling from some years .. I do not remember now. Affects accuracy in the negative, but gives a longer life of the trunk. To 800 m completely. But this is almost the limit. As for me. But now there is little to learn shooting at a moving target. It’s good that the concept of derivation is somehow given ... It seems to have begun .. The result is that you can go to the field in the city ...
Special services - VSK, VSS, VAL - special tool - what else can I say. Not every day and not everyone is given ... up to 400 m (limit) is an excellent thing. Reliable, simple, nifiga is not audible .... you don’t understand where the sound comes from, even if they shoot around the corner .... PSO is enough .. But you can show off ... Although, as for me, it is not necessary.
Talking about Mosin is probably not necessary. classics of the genre. Fell in love the first time. just get used to the grip for a long time. there is no problem with the little finger. With it you can almost everything except special things.
But here the handles are necessary, the eye, in general, we must live with it. It must be cleaned. Everything released before 43 is excellent trunks.
Well, the fact that they rolled ... trivia ... People should react somehow :)
Let them read the materiel .... Maybe even then they won’t enter SVD into the category of high-precision and even champion ...
I beg your pardon - and so tired with writings ..
And what is going on .... well, how can I say it .... I’m honest, dumb .... For the situation now .... Idiotov is too much and everyone thinks that it happens that "I don’t touch me" all
In the end, I also wanted to say - that our trunks to find fault with sin.
So recently on the Amer’s resource I read the SVD sold. Original with a story. In a good condition. Start at a price of 5200 dollars. There is no living place. It seems that she was threshed grain ...
But the Romanians do not stand above 1200, I am silent about China, silently painted in black show-offs in the region of 500 ..
Do not laugh at the amers, but in the trunks they understand better than some of our sofa warriors ..... :)

[Navigator Basov]

SVD is automatic? Self-loading it. In general, the expert level is clear, even this sofa does not give out And he writes with such pathos, as if he had been shooting from everything described for years, and at the same time from different hands.

[CAT BAIYUN]

Wrong term .. And so what?
Sprinkle ash on your head? :)
Is that all you disagree with?
That's great.
I note - for years I did not shoot. By the way, I did not pretend to be an expert .... And you, excuse me, IskperD according to experts? :) I will know - if anything - you should be sure :)

.AK-9 I didn’t see it, I won’t google ..

Yes here

[CAT BAIYUN]

Thank you :) for some reason I'm not surprised :)

[medvedron]

megavolt823, I agree, but I would like to add about the outbreak. It's still a sniper and not a machine gun, not a burst of fire from it. And in general, some in the Donbass manage to shoot from the cliff so they can’t detect it at night.

[Oden280]

Initially, as a 9A-91 assault rifle, it was a very good machine for working in the city, like a sniper complex ... but complete. At those distances from which she works the grove or, more precisely, take small things. And the noise is less and the risk that someone is shot that is not so less. This is due to the fact that the VSK-94 complexes went to special units of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and practically did not take them into the army.

[megavolt823]

there were different attempts to our thoughts. came down to the search for a second personal weapon. the development of special samples took up only at the end of 70x. Well, there were different thoughts, for example, than to shoot a crew of a damaged tank. very narrow-minded acceptance worked in the USSR. SVD miraculously appeared. in the minds of the generals of that time, World War II was firmly entrenched, and the sauce was from a full-scale nuclear strategy. and now in the comments I also see the opinion of people with experience. but also getting ready for past tactics. we still have special courses. but a sniper on call is a good shooter from the category and that’s it. hunter before the call. or sport. biathlon, trap shooting. for them SVD and no more. when in the 40x there were fights in the city, it turned out that the shooter is good. and when people know how to group, it is a separate machine of fear and death. a sniper on the history of the appearance is a shooter of a small bird. a war sniper is one who knows how to find and prepare 2-3 positions. understand quickly where the other is and make the division live on the belly. Do not prepare people massively for use. and other possible similar types. BCC is not one shot for 700 and more than meters. this is an ambush. diversion. city ​​battle. where for 70 years a lot of losses. anti-sniper groups as top, as experience. forgotten and abandoned. we are talking about different things.

VSK-94 were purchased in Russia at the end of the 1990s. The weapon was intended for fighters of elite units.

The elite uses the BCC, the VSK-94 is cheaper, i.e. designed for mass, Tula competitor. Therefore, in units, if there is a choice, then only BCC.

this complex has unique characteristics

In comparison with what they are unique?

the so-called “heavy” bullet of the cartridge PAB-9 used by him

And also SP-5 and SP-6, designed for BCC. For sniper shooting use SP-5, and for the author of the article I clarify that the PAB-9 is a cheaper version of the SP-6, and generally has not been produced for a long time, as it wears out the trunks more, and there is no comparison with SP-5 for sniper rifles.

[Stiletto_711]

The elite uses the BCC, the VSK-94 is cheaper, i.e. designed for mass, Tula competitor.

Yes, the BCC for some indicators looks a little more interesting, that's just a resource ... The BCC - 1500 shots, and the VSK-94 - 6000. There is something to think about.

[Oden280]

It's all about the design of the trunks. VSK has an automatic, coarse barrel with large tolerances, while VSS has a barrel with rifled perforations made with high accuracy.

[Monarchist]

The Bulletin of Mordovia surprises me: it feels like this edition is for army people, a kind of “Red Star” of our time, with a solid staff of special correspondents in Syria, all tank news- “Vesnik”, some new weapons again “Bulletin of Mordovia”
