What is Russian Vss Sniper Rifle
The VSS (Special Sniper Rifle) “Vintorez” was designed for use in special operations requiring low-noise weapons. Pyotr Serdyukov, head of the Central Research Institute of Precision Engineering (TSNIITOCHMASH) in Klimovsk, developed the rifle. Additionally, subsonic bullets with speeds up to 400 meters were designed for use with the gun. With the 7.62×39 cartridge case, the SP-5 and SP-6 were created with 9×39 mm bullets. A year later. About 280 m/s is the initial speed of bullets from SP-5 and SP-6 cartridges, and about 16 grams is their mass. In the late 1980s, the VSS was introduced into service. Numerous special forces units in Russian law enforcement agencies, including those in Chechnya, have successfully used the VSS rifle.

Russian Vss Sniper Rifle Gas engines power
Gas engines power VSS rifles and have rotating bolts. Above the barrel, the gas piston is rigidly attached to the bolt frame. A rotating bolt has six lugs. Steel is used to mill the receiver to increase its structural strength. A transverse button behind the trigger acts as a fire mode selector, similar to a Kalashnikov assault rifle. Striker-fired triggers are also different from AK triggers.
