![]() ![]() The standard open sights are graduated from 100 to 425 m in 25 m increments. The rifle also has an "AK-type" Warsaw Pact rail for various optical sights, namely the PSO-1-1, PSO-1M2-1, and 1-PN-51 calibrated for use with the 9x39mm cartridge. The fire selector is, however, located behind the trigger within the trigger guard. Manipulation is similar to many AK-type rifles: charging handle on the right side, tangent rear sight, magazine release button behind the magazine well, and safety lever above the trigger guard. There are no design features which reduce the noise of the action. The suppressor effectively reduces muzzle flash and muzzle report of the firearm to 130 dB. The baffles are stamped out of a single sheet ~1 mm thickness and welded to a removable frame which is pressed against the front of the suppressor housing by a spring placed between the baffle assembly and the end of the barrel. Four rows of nine holes are drilled in the barrel which follow the rifling and allows gas to escape the barrel behind the projectile into the expansion chamber which surrounds the barrel and extends ~20 cm forward of the end of the barrel where three baffles are located. The AS Val and VSS Vintorez are integrally suppressed and chambered for the 9×39mm subsonic cartridge. The mounts which shroud the suppressor can be removed. Both rifles are also outfitted with a Picatinny rail on the top of the dust cover and on the sides and bottom of the suppressor, forward of the handguard. The ASM (6P30M) and VSSM (6P29M) are modernised variants of the AS and VSS respectively The VSSM is equipped with an aluminium buttstock with an adjustable cheek and butt pad and a new 30-round magazine was introduced to be intended for use with the ASM. Manufacturing began at the Tula Arms Plant after its adoption by the Armed Forces of the Soviet Union in 1987. The Vintorez (beginning in 1983) and Val (beginning in 1985) were developed by TsNIITochMash to replace modified general-purpose firearms, such as the AKS-74UB, BS-1, APB, and PB, for clandestine operations, much like the PSS Vul. The two rifles hereafter are referred to as the Vintorez and Val. 'Special "Sniper" Rifle), 6P30 and 6P29 ( GRAU designation) respectively, were a Soviet-designed assault rifle featuring an integral suppressor based on the prototype RG-036 completed in 1981 by TsNIITochMash. Open sights: Rear notch on tangent (graduated from 100 to 425 m) and front post mounted to suppressor housing AS (bottom) with a 20-round magazineġ0-, 20-, 30-round detachable box magazine (shared with the SR-3M) VSS (top) equipped with the PSO-1-1 and 10-round magazine. ![]()
