Description:

There are few things more frightening in this world then seeing another man's head get blown off by a high powered rifle round, fortunately for the Volzgradiens, they have such a weapon standard issue. Created by the now world famous arms designer Vasili Ravenkov, the SKR-50 Battle Rifle is as home in the hands of a farmer as it is in the hands of a special operations soldier. Despite its age, the SVT-50 has proven to be the perfect weapon for both the Volzgradien Military and others.

Unlike most battle rifles, the SKR-59 is capable of both semi-automatic and burst fire. This allows the shooter to not only be accurate, but also have a surprisingly good rate of fire and power. With its long barrel, the SKR-59 can hit targets accurately from kilometers away. However, the true beauty of the SKR-59 is its cost. At only $70 to $120 dollars per rifle, the SKR-59 is cheaper and easier to build then even the AK-47!

Another excellent part of the SKR-59 is its incredible reliability. With a chrome lined barrel, few moving parts, and a solid construction; the SKR-59 is almost impossible to break or malfunction. While the SKR-50 lacks automatic fire, it more then makes up for this liability with its high powered and accurate rounds. While the standard issue SKR-59 comes with basic iron sights, custom made SKR-59s have 6x zoom scopes added for sniping.

Why is it called SVT-50?

AVS= Automatic Rifle Simmonov
SVT= Self-loading Rifle Tokarev
SVD= Self Loading Rifle Druganov
SKS = Self-loading Karbine Simmonov

So wouldn't a self-loading carbine (it's a carbine, no sidestepping the issue) designed by "Vasili Ravenkov", and was designed in '59 be called the SKR-59?

And why a 10x scope when a 6 will do the same job cheaper and possably better in some cases? (a 10x40 scope would cost more than the rifle, for starters)

As for $70 rifle /w/ burst fire, wut?

Your soviet is also different than the M-43 standard spec 7.62x39 mm.

OOC: I've never thought of that! I'll change it right away. As much as I know about Soviet firearms, I have never noticed that trend.

The $70 dollar version is the "budget" version with only semi-automatic fire. As for the round, I made a mistake when typing.

Partially because I certainly wouldn't buy something from someone who takes people's pictures without permission (You're lucky Cazelia let you off, I wouldn't have and nor would many people I know), partially because of an utter lack of anything significantly original, partly because this is far less than outstanding, and partly because of posts like the one you've just made. And you will not get '800+ metres' with this rifle, firing an intermediate round. As for your comment on Kalashnikovs, the reason people will buy them is because they are better and proven to be so. Your claim on being able to accurately hit targets from kilometres away is laughably untrue.
As a side-note, I also wouldn't buy something with such a short writeup.

I'm rather new to RP in NS, but I have participated in many other types of RP. But as someone who works on firearms in rl, I would say some of your stats might need to be adjusted. As with everything in life, I'm not going to criticize something unless I have a suggestion or solution for how to fix it.

1) The 7.62x39mm round: whether you're talking about the M43, M67, or any commercially loaded "ball" ammunition, it has an aerodynamics problem. It destabilizes significantly by 350 yards even when fired from the best of rifles. At best, you can get 1" groups at 100 yards if you fire it from one of the bolt-action CZ rifles, but the MOA rating drops sharply the further away you get. In it's current form, it still wouldn't be a bad round for urban sniping in a rifle like the one you described, as that usually occurs under 200 yards.

Fixes: A) Have your round be different from the traditional 7.62x39mm, such as a larger casing, slightly smaller bore [Soviet mfg. is bored at .311, while American such as Winchester is bored at .308, you could go slightly smaller], etc. B) Chamber it for a different caliber. If you want to stick with a Soviet theme there's the 7.62x54R which quality ammo and the right rifle can achieve 1" MOA at 1000 yards. Theres also the ever-popular 7.62x51 NATO (.308), and .30-06.

2) Price: I have to agree $70 USD is a bit broken. However, if mass-produced and using mediocre materials and quality control, the $120 mark is achievable for the design you posted. I think a competition grade model should probably cost at least $500 if not more.

3) Range: If you want to reliably hit something beyond 1000 yards, you need to move up to a whole new caliber, such as the .50 BMG or the new .416 Barrett.

If you want to talk more gun stuff with me, feel free to send me a telegram in-game (Katonazag), as I don't get into the forums here very much.

I think that commonly available, unclassified military hardware should be available for such use. Nations are always ripping off other people's designs, and if the item is easily available in the free market, I'd say it's fair game. I think it would be godmodeing though to say you can produce F-22s, LHX Commanche helicopter, or something like that. An AK-47 can and has been copied all over the world, usually by legitimate license, but not always.

70$ Is A Fair Price For Something Like This In The Ns Economy, Which Is Markedly Different From The Real World.the Profit Is Still Slim, But Its Not Even Close To Outrageously Low.

3) Range: If You Want To Reliably Hit Something Beyond 1000 Yards, You Need To Move Up To A Whole New Caliber, Such As The .50 Bmg Or The New .416 Barrett.
well Lets Not Get Ahead Of Ourselves, He Only Wanted 800 Meters. Also There Are Several Smaller Rounds Capable Of That. You Also Need To Have The Right Platform To Go With It, There Is No "magic Bullet", Pardon The Pun.

The reason I absolutely hate the NS Draftroom is because everybody there are self-important bums who think they are "all mighty" because they are hiding behind a monitor. Everybody in the Draftroom and Lineart could piss off and not bother with me!

Also, I really think that write up size doesn't matter when your buying something. Unlike most Draftroomers, I actually have something resembling a life. I simply cannot find the time to write a "life-storyesque" write up. As a side note, the only reason I ever went to the mud puddle that is the Draftroom is because I needed a place to store some links. I, on this day, announce that I will never expose myself to the unadulterated evil that is the NS Draftroom. Sooner would I put my head in a blender than go over to NSD, frankly because NSD would be more painfully annoying.

Am I? I use NSD quite often for airship designs, and share your sentiments about certain users. As for this rifle, I can make a fair few points about it.

- Why use a red-dot sight on something as large as this? Special forces would use a much smaller weapon than this, unless in a sniper role (when a scope would be used).

- Have you ever tried shooting a semi-automatic rifle? I doubt anyone could get off the number of rounds you stick in as the firing rate: 600 rpm is equivalent to 10 rounds a second. 6 rounds a second is an absolute maximum by my reckoning, and that's if you aren't bothering to aim. I haven't used a burst-fire weapon before, but when you fire a burst the number of rounds shot off are in very quick succession: at least 1200 rounds a minute.
I know rpms are very complicated in this sense, but don't take disheart. I'd recommend having it as two seperate fire rates depending on mode, or as just the burst fire speed.

- I agree with Katonazag with the round issues in regards to range, though see you've changed that. I do hasten to add though that you forgot the .338 Lapua Super Magnum (though I only know that since I'm in the British Army Cadets). Though 7.62mm NATO is adequate enough for most anti-infantry operations. I wish people would stop waving about .50cal BMGs as the ultimate sniper weapon because they ain't intended for that: they are designated as anti-material weapons, for taking out vehicles and the like. A 7.62mm NATO in most circumstances can be used instead of the .50cal, with a similar level of lethality if used by a trained sniper.


The NSD exists as a location for you to check out these designs: even if there are some smug, pretentious, arrogant bastards lurking there, they do help with weeding out the bad points that exist in a design like this, leaving a much better design.

Blasphemy!
Underlined bit seems to be pot vs kettle namecalling, when considering the quality/effort put into the recent design in question (You took an "improved copy" of the Chinese Type 63 (http://world.guns.ru/assault/as48-e.htm) and slapped on a russian-sounding designation without learning their namenculture, and now I catch you upping the cartidge w/o changing anything else*).

Well, except for the bit on RL-wiki post/product=newthread based "storefronts".

And as for NSD feeling all "almighty" about themselves, that sounds like V10's propoganda to me. Since everyone on NS is hiding behind a monitor and screen-name, except for Logan-And-Kye, that username speaks for itself.

No, I'm not almighty, I'm just good at pointing out flaws and finding problems, and will continue to do so to the best of my ability in hopes that others learn from their mistakes and improve. And no, I don't limit that kind of behavior to NS.

*Went from "7.62x34 Volzgradian (Soviet)" which you said was a typo, intended to be 7.62x39 mm M43 Soviet, and now it be 7.62x54Rimmed, still with a double-stack, which'll get fugly when the chips are down.

Yeah, and with an AK's rotating bolt long-stroke gas system dropped in place.

SVT's tilting bolt was borrowed from that of the AVS, which is pretty much the same one in the SKS.
And a Type 63 is essentially an AK in SKS packaging.

In short, you think like chinaman from 1963, and that's why this gun isn't selling too well, because even the Chinese went on and fielded better stuff IRL.

Yeah, I ran into many similar brick walls like that... Design one thing, only to find out some designer with a hack-assed marketing team built pretty much the exact same thing 40 years ago.

But then again, it took those countries teams of men years to design them (even just the concept, the M14 wasn't on the drawing boards immediately after the M1 Garand, and niether was the Type 81 that replaced the 56/63 models). So I'd say you're doing a pretty good job of "catching up with the times" for your age.

The "new" cartridge would make your "carbine" back into a full-fledged rifle on par with the Drugannov (rotating > tilting bolt), and I CBA to figure out how you're going to keep costs down on those.

BTW, for future refferance, a burst fire setting generally requires more parts than full-auto.

Well. Not only have you trolled, you've annoyed a hell of a lot of people who will forever rendered you on their enemies list, not the least me. The NS Draftroom is a good place for intelligent people to go to debate and critique each other's designs. Not only do we have lives, (A strange claim to make, because when I looked at your photobucket for further ripoffs of the G1, I found you spend all your time taking photos you've found and making up mildly annoying by-lines for them), we also are more sophisticated and have a wider vocabulary than someone who bawls 'it's not fair' because their rifle didn't sell and they can't take advice from superior designers.

This merely illustrates that you refuse to take advice from people superior to you. Just sit back and listen to yourself. No-one from there will buy your products and a lot of people hold grudges. You've just gained some enemies because you refuse to take advice from anyone. Look at the response you got on Linc. Look at how much better everyone that went to the NSD is compared to your design and it's art ripoff. Really, this is newbie nonsense just because you seem to be ignorant to the fact that you are no better than the others here.

Phonenix & Alfegos, I think we'll have to agree to disagree about the price. :p But in the description it says it can hit targets kilometers away, hence my suggestion at .50 BMG or .416 Barrett. And yes, there are others out there, I just like those more. I also agree it's the total picture - the man, the munition, and the machine. ;)


- Have you ever tried shooting a semi-automatic rifle? I doubt anyone could get off the number of rounds you stick in as the firing rate: 600 rpm is equivalent to 10 rounds a second. 6 rounds a second is an absolute maximum by my reckoning, and that's if you aren't bothering to aim.

I think what he posted is achievable through a properly tuned gas system, however, from a rifle that cost $70 to manufacture, it will probably overheat and become a "bad day" for the operator. I agree that full auto is impractical in anti-personnel weapons except for those that were designed to be a support weapon or point-blank SMG.

I agree with you on most of what you're saying, except the whiny bullshit about NSD and Linc.
