Overview[]

  • The VSS (Винтовка Снайперская Специальная, Vintovka Snayperskaya Spetsialnaya, Special Sniper Rifle), also called Vintorez ("Thread Cutter"), was developed in the late 1980s for undercover operations of Spetsnaz units.
  • It has both the silencer and the scope in-built and non-detachable.
  • Though accuracy and damage caused are very good the practical use is limited by the small magazine and the poor durability.
