9 mm silenced sniper rifle VSK-94 with a PSO-1 optical sight mounted.


The VSK-94 is a 9 mm suppressed sniper rifle developed by the Russia KBP Instrument Design Bureau as a low-cost alternative to the VSS rifle. The rifle is based on the 9A-91 assault rifle. The VSK-94 was designed to accurately engage unarmored point targets at ranges up to 400 m.

The VSK-94 retains the gas-driven operating principle of the 9A-91 with a rotating bolt. The rifle features a stamped steel receiver, skeletonized polymer stock integrated with the pistol grip and a synthetic forearm. The VSK-94 is equipped with a 4x PSO-1 optical sight(adapted for subsonic rounds shooting) and standard flip iron sights from the 9A-91.

The threaded barrel is designed to use a specifically designed suppressor.

The rifle uses 9x39mm ammunition feeding from a 20-round detachable box magazine.

The VSK-94 is in limited use with several law enforcement organizations in Russia.
