KBP VSK-94 Silenced Sniper Rifle (1994)
The VSK-94 utilizes the body of the 9A-91 assault carbine to form a silenced sniper rifle for special Russian military elements.
The original 9A-91 carbine assault weapon can still be recognized in the VSK-94 design. Key physical changes include the integrated double-strut, lightweight polymer stock and the cylindrical silencer assembly. The VSK-94 features the same receiver lines of the 9A-91 series as well as its straight detachable box magazine. The pistol grip adds ergonomic comfort and the oblong trigger ring allows use of a gloved hand. Magazines are inserted into the well ahead of the trigger group in the usual way. The charging handle is set to the right side of the body as is the ejection port. Thusly, optics are attached to the left side of the receiver - the standard fitting being the 4x PSO-1 series scope (backed by the 9A-91's iron sights). The PSO-1 series is a common sight for the famous Dragunov SVD sniper rifle family. Receiver construction is of all steel for rugged usability in-the-field. As with the 9A-91, the VSK-94 is fed from a 20-round detachable spring-loaded straight box magazine tied to the gas-operated, rotating bolt action. This allows a rate-of-fire of approximately 700 rounds per minute with a muzzle velocity of 270 meters per second out to an effective range of 400 meters.
The VSK-94 silenced sniper rifle remains in limited use by special Russian military and internal security forces and is called upon during clandestine operations. With that in mind, the VSK-94 has assuredly seen its fair share of combat service concerning the Russian special forces group SPETSNAZ.
