The V-94 provides Russian snipers with an effective long range anti-material rifle. The V-94 fires a heavy 12.7x108mm shell that can pierce the skin of most lightly armoured vehicles in operation and destroy other light targets, such as communications equipment, artillery and grounded aircraft. The V-94 is capable of engaging targets up to and possibly over 2 kilometers. It is equipped with a powerful 13x60 magnification PSO optical sight. The weapon is semi-automatic and fires from a detatchable five-round box magazine. Though very heavy, this weapon gives spetsnaz units the capacity to engage heavier targets at longer ranges and has proved to be a very useful tool in the hands of an experienced sniper.

Though the SVD Dragunov has been and still is the primary sniping rifle of the Soviet and Russian Armed Forces, snipers have for many years been calling for a bolt action rifle designed specifically for precision shooting at long range. Recently, IzhMash arms company unveiled the SV-98, a bolt action rifle designed after the sport shooting Record CISM. The SV-98 performs as well as--if not better than--any of the top-of-the-line rifles the rest of the world has to offer.

For years the standard sniping rifle of all Russian military units was the 7.62x54mm SVD Dragunov. When it became apparent that military conflict in the 20th century would be focused in built-up urban areas, full length rifles became a hindrance when maneuvering quietly around in confined spaces. Looking to other sniping and main battle rifles that have been converted to bullpup configuration in western nations, the Russians decided to apply this to the Dragunov. The resulting weapon was a compact design that still performed like the full size Dragunov, but with minimalized dimensions. Due to the bullpup layout, the weapon still retains a 53cm barrel but has an overall length of 90cm. This is an ideal weapon for spetsnaz units operating in urban areas or in situations where a shorter, lighter weapon is required.

For years, the ideal sniping weapon was a considered to be a heavy caliber, bolt action rifle with a long, floating barrel. While this design proved to be an excellent long range rifle, recent conflicts and tactical situations have shown that snipers are engaging targets at ranges of 500 yards and closer. Russian weapon designers at IzhMash took this into consideration when they designed a new lightweight rifle called the SV99. This new rifle was chambered for the extremely light .22LR cartridge which massively deviated from conventional tactical rifle design. The new rifle was intended for spetsnaz use in wetwork operations, engaging targets at minimal range. The weapon is generally fitted with a silencer which cuts the report down to miniscule levels, making the weapon a quiet and deadly tool for special operatives. This weapon is excellent for neutralizing sentries and priority targets with stealth and precision.

The VSS Vintorez is the sniping model of the AS VAL. First issued in 1987, the Vintorez quickly became a popular rifle with military and law enforcement units alike. Though intended for short to medium range engagements, the Vintorez still exhibits stunning armour piercing abilities, penetrating 8mm steel plate at 100 meters. The VSS Vintorez is a perfect urban warfare rifle; short, light, quiet and deadly.
