How to use a unique rifle SVD Bashny.Net

SVD rifle is probably familiar to anyone who loves to play computer "shooter." But if in a virtual reality it seen by millions, how the rifle used in real life, and what makes it unique? I propose to find out in the continuation of the post. Look!





Who played in the "Stalker" and other computer shooters, which featured Soviet weapons, certainly not once fired from a virtual SVD. Hard to believe that the legendary rifle was released in 1963 and since then has undergone significant changes. But almost real, but still impossible characteristics creation Yevgeny Dragunov has acquired in abundance.

For example, to show the work of a sniper in the film directors make the actors bolt action rifle cocked before each shot. But as a Kalashnikov rifle, SVD is a semi-automatic weapon. Repeatedly "distort the gate" is not necessary, only the excess consumption of ammunition. Just one time after joining the horn. Part of the powder gases after each shot helps rifle "spit out" empty sleeve and shall be sent a new cartridge in the barrel.



When the hero in the film there are problems, it is accepted to shoot bursts of SVD "three", it is not a matter of taking care of the residue rounds in horn. The second characteristic of almost all the weapons in the movie. Let the reality in the horn rifles fits all 10 rounds, in the movie it does not matter at all. But not exactly queuing SVD fires. Only single.



In some American fighters protagonist, being in Eastern Europe, he used the "lightweight" version of the SVD, "sharpened" under the gauge 5, 45. Yes, it's hard to remember that in the film of them - one million. In fact, in this respect, one SVD and shoots it extremely heavy 7, 62. Only such a bullet is capable of running is guaranteed to hit targets at a distance up to 800 meters.



But from SVD actually bring down a jet attack aircraft. It is known absolutely fantastic occasion when fighter Farabundo Martí National Liberation Front (a political party in El Salvador) managed to shoot down a plane the Air Force of El Salvador. The bullet pierced the glass cockpit and hit the pilot, who lost control and crashed. Good luck sniper shot at, of course, tipped the scales, but technically it is still a real combat aircraft shot down.



Now the rifle is in service thirty countries. Somewhere - still in the original 1963. Somewhere - an updated modification received by the Russian troops in 1991. In some countries it is even manufactured under license. Trophy SVD as a Kalashnikov rifle, like the American mercenaries. And yet its armed units of member countries of NATO.
