VSK-94
The VSK-94 silenced sniper rifle was developed by the KBP (Instrument DesignBureau), most famous for its high-performance GSh-series aircraft cannons, as well as for antitank missile systems and other such "instruments".VSK-94 is actually an attempt to create a less expensive rival to the special purpose VSS "Vintorez" 9mm silenced sniper rifle. VSK-94 is a conversion of the 9A-91 9mm compact assault rifle, being different by having a fixed detachable skeletonized buttstock, a scope mount, and a detachable silencer. The VSK-94 retains the gas operated, rotating bolt action and the receiver of the 9A-91, and also retains its possibility to fire in full auto.
9A91
The 9A-91 9×39 mm compact assault rifle was originally developed as a part of the A91 family of compact weapons, which included versions chambered for 7.62 x 39, 5.45 x 39, 9 x 39 and 5.56 x 45 ammunition. Of those, only the 9 mm version survived and entered small-scale production at the Tula Arms Factory in 1994. Designed by the famous KBP design bureau in Tula, the 9A-91 was originally intended for an Army PDW (Personal Defense Weapon) role, but instead found some favor in the ranks of MVD and Russian police troops, as a less expensive (and somewhat more versatile) equivalent of the SR-3 “Vikhr” compact assault rifle. The 9A-91 also served as a basis for a silenced “para-sniper” weapon, the VSK-94, also chambered for 9 x 39 ammunition.
