Već 70 dana nisam ništ napisao :D :D Ajd evo nešto, još jedna puškica: (na Engleskom) Dragunov SVD - 7.62x54mmR Russian - Russia/CIS - Semi-Automatic - In 1958, GRAU (Glavnoye Raketno - Artilleriyskoye Upravleniye - the Chief Missile and Artillery Department of the Soviet Ministry for Defense) submitted a request for the development of a semiautomatic sniper rifle to replace the Mosin-Nagant sniper rifle. Many of the Soviet Union's firearm designers, such as Mikhail Kalashnikov and Evgeniy Dragunov, accepted the challenge. The rifle envisioned in the request was more than a simple sniper rifle. Along with high accuracy and the substantial range of fire, the weapon had to be lightweight, compact, and capable of semiautomatic fire. By 1963, Dragunov's SVD (Snayperskaya Vintovka Dragunova) beat all challengers including Kalashnikov. While its bolt, bolt carrier, and general arrangement are similar to those of the AK47 and AKM, parts are not interchangeable with the assault rifles. The SVD uses a different gas system because of the difference in cartridge length. Dragunov believed that the long-stroke gas piston of the AK-series would unbalance the rifle during the operating cycle. Instead, Dragunov chose a short-stroke piston which merely travels ~15mm to the rear, 'tapping' the bolt carrier, and then returning to its forward position. The most distinguishing visual features of the SVD are the open buttstock, which has a cheek pad to align the eye with a scope, and the 4x PSO-1 (Pritsel Snaipersky, Optichesky/Sniper Optic Sight) telescopic sight mounted over the receiver. The rifle is equipped with a long flash suppressor (similar to the PK) and can mount the standard AKM bayonet. It is normally issued with four magazines, a cleaning kit, and an extra battery and lamp for the PSO-1. Early variants had laminated wood furniture, but this has been gradually phased out for polymer equivalents. The SVD is optimistically credited with a maximum effective range of 1,300m with the PSO-1, and 800 meters with only iron sights. The PSO-1 has a 6-degree field of view and contains an integral, infrared detection aid along with an illuminated rangefinder reticle. Thus, the SVD is effective in daylight against point targets or at night against active infrared emitters, such as night driving aids and weapon sights. The reticle's rangefinder is tied to the height of a standing man; however, many feel that at longer ranges, this is too easy to misinterpret. With the use of this rangefinder, the PSO-1 can then be adjusted by a 'ballistic drop calculator' (BDC) cam to match the trajectory of the 7.62x54mm cartridge out to 1,000m. Beyond 1,000m, the reticle has hash marks for aiming at 1,100, 1,200, and 1,300 meters. It is not as accurate as rival Western designs; however, the Soviets demand reliability over all else. The SVD has been seen more as a Designated Marksman's rifle for direct support of troops in action, instead of a precision rifle designed for a Western Scout/Sniper team. Until recently, the Russian did not bother to issue a 'match-grade' 7.62x54mm cartridge. Prior to this, SVD users would blithely fire any of the standard 7.62x54mmR cartridges designed for the PK-series machineguns. Tactics: A good sniper rifle for the ranges in Rogue Spear. It is the best handling of the semi-auto sniper rifles. The scope is a little weak for the longer ranges however. 4x power mil-dot scope. Evo par slikica :)= :    |
