has gloss | eng: SVDK (Russian : СВДК) is a Russian sniper rifle from the Dragunov sniper rifles family chambered for the 9.3 x 64 mm round. The Dragunov SVDK large caliber sniper rifle (any rifle in caliber above 9 mm is considered a large caliber in Russia) is a somewhat controversial weapon, recently adopted by Russian army. It was developed through "Vzlomshik" (Breaker) research and development program, along with 7.62 mm SV-98 sniper and 12.7 mm ASVK anti-materiel rifles. The purpose of SVDK is to deal with targets which are too hard for standard 7.62x54R sniper rifles like SV-98 or SVD, such as assault troops in heavy body armor or enemy snipers behind covers. There also were rumors that SVDK will serve as a long-range anti-personnel weapon. |
