Because of this, the AS VAL is best used as a high-powered close quarters rifle. Even mid-ranged combat requires significant accounting for the bullet drop.
Due to the extreme bullet drop of the 9x39 round, the AS VAL performs poorly at long-range engagements. It's high rate of fire paired with its relatively low recoil (as a result of its heavy, integrated suppressor) can be particularly intimidating at close range. It may be advisable to use the AS "Val" in Factory, since the rifle's range is more limited than similar carbines, mainly due to its integrated suppressor and subsonic ammunition. Local threats that might wish to capitalise on the chaos or 'tunnel vision' of a firefight will be less capable of identifying the shooters position, providing a further advantage for those using suppressed weapons such as the AS VAL. This can be advantageous, as partial obfuscation of a player's position prevents engaged enemies from identifying cover that will provide adequate defilade, and additionally reduces their ability to effectively return fire. Since the AS "Val" uses an integrated suppressor, the amount of noise and visible muzzle flash is comparatively lower than standard, unsuppressed rifles. Both weapons are select-fire and have integral suppressors that feature a conventional ported barrel, expansion chamber and baffle system layout.īoth the AS Val and the VSS were ready for frontline use by 1987. I asked this question around a year ago, it's because on the top of the info screen for the gun it has 'Sniper'. Initially, this niche was filled by AK-47/AKM rifles that were fitted. The only thing that raises the sniper rifle skill are the bolt-actions. Due to the nature of operations that the Spetsnaz usually carry out, they are in need of silenced, flashless weapons. The VSS shares approximately three-quarters of its parts with the AS Val, with some differences in stock furniture and the optics mounts. The AS Val (Russian:, , Avtomat specialniy, 'Special assault rifle') was designed by TSNIITOCHMASH in late 1980s as a specialized weapon for Spetsnaz forces. The Soviets also designed two new nine-by-39-millimeter armor-piercing rounds - the SP-6 for suppressed assault rifles and the more-accurate SP-5 for suppressed sniperrifles such as the VSS. The resulting Val, with its integral suppressor, spurred the development of a whole family of suppressed weapons, including the VSS. The replica was made of highest-quality materials. The entirety has been made with a great care for details and retaining the original size, weight and construction details as much as possible. An object of desire of many Russophiles, fans of STALKER universe and not only. Thanks to its integrated silencer and 9x39 caliber round with a heavy subsonic bullet, the weapon's noise and muzzle flash have. The rifle's primary purpose is effective fire against enemies employing modern personal protection equipment without disclosing the shooter's location. With more and more NATO troops wearing body armor, Russian special forces teams wanted a silent weapon that was also capable of penetrating armor - and could lay down enough fire for fast, violent raids targeting NATO command-and-control centers. A replica of a Russian AS VAL sniper rifle by King Arms. A modified version of the silent Vintar BC sniper rifle, the assault rifle was designed as a special forces weapon. In the early 1980s, the Soviet Union’s Central Institute for Precision Machine Building - TsNIITochMash - developed the AS Val suppressed assault rifle and the derivative VSS sniper rifle specifically to outfit Russian special forces and intelligence agencies. Maybe a US company like Palmetto State Armory can make this happen. 
The 9×39 could be a real game changer in the US market as well. A Sniper’s weapon made nearly entirely for fieldcraft- stalking is a requirement to use this weapon within its 200m range- but ideal for use in thick vegetation and the mountains of the Caucasus where it really cut its teeth. One of my all-time favorite weapons- the VSS Vintorez in 9×39.
