![]() ![]() ![]() High-accuracy rounds and high-power rounds are some of them. The entire family of totally new 12.7×55 mm rounds was developed especially for the VKS. The straight pull, bolt action bullpup rifle is designed around and to only be used with the suppressor on, with its highly specialized subsonic ammunition. The suppressor comes off, but this is described as for storage or transportation by the maker. In short, the VKS Vykhlop is a short-range, almost noiseless, silenced sniper rifle. Tula designers created an absolute weapon feared by terrorists and envied by Western Special Forces. No other firearm combines a long range of fire, super-powerful ammunition, and a lack of unmasking factors. That means that a shooter armed with this rifle will move much easier, and he will save strength to accomplish his mission. VKS Vykhlop silenced sniper rifle chambered for 12.7mm round (Photo: XY) With its suppressor and loaded magazine attached, Tula’s long-range puncher weighs only 7 kg. Thanks to the manual reloading of the rifle, designers got rid of the complex automation systems, which, in turn, allowed VKS to be incredibly light. This fact allows for shortening the weapon’s dimensions significantly. The magazine isn’t located in front of the grip but behind it in such a layout. The 12.7 mm round, specially made for the VKS Vykhlop, is many times heavier than a regular round, has considerable stopping power, and can penetrate a 16 mm thick steel sheet at 250 meters. Silenced large-caliber 12.7 mm sniper rifle VKS Vykhlop was developed in 2002 for the SPETSNAZ Center of Russian FSB. According to the manufacturer, there is nothing like this super-weapon today. Specialists from Tula Instrument Design Bureau introduced a suppressed 12.7mm caliber VKS sniper rifle. But what to do if a super-powerful cartridge, long range of fire, and sound suppression need to be combined meanwhile removing all the disadvantages? Development The sound and barrel flash unmask the shooter. While at shorter distances, its super-powerful round allows the destruction of light armored vehicles. The OSV-96 is a sniper rifle chambered in 12.7 mm caliber. Typical targets for the VKS Vykhlop are combatants in heavy body armor or behind the cover. The 12.7×55mm VKS Vykhlop silenced sniper rifle is intended for special operations that require silent firing and penetration much superior to that provided by the 9×39mm VSS Vintorez silenced sniper rifle. VSS Vintorez silenced sniper rifle favored by Spetsnaz operators (Photo: Spetsnaz) The VSS Vintorez has only one disadvantage – short range of fire, not more than 400 meters. The rifle is so quiet that the enemy won’t ever understand where the lethal lead came from. It is designed to allow the shooter to eliminate the target without triggering an alarm. VSS Vintorez is a silenced sniper rifle chambered in 9mm. ![]()
