The bullet is supersonic. Suppressors hide the muzzle blast but there is no way to eliminate the supersonic crack of the bullet unless you use subsonic ammo which has a much shorter effective range.
@hsnan009 High power doesnt mean the best.. you play to much video games.. i own an AK, it has a terrible accuracy and a lot of recoil, and it aims shitty
@AtomicFreerun Having a cheap ass copy cat semi auto romanian or bulgarian shit, using cheap ass ammo and certainly being incapable of sighting without god damn reddot, doesn't mean AK are not accurate. AK are accurate, especially when you are firing a good one (real military russian AK for example), with good ammo and you are trained with it, it is accurate, whatever the caliber is. As for accuracy you should use AK74 in original caliber or 5.56 derivative though.
I hope you don't mind me asking, but how in the world can you get some hands on time with these weapons? I always thought the SV-98 was strictly Russian Law Enforcement/Military only.
In looking at the conversation on calibers, does this use the same 7.62 x 54 ammo that the mosin-nagant runs? With the same boat-tail on the back of the casing?
Antoxin, i'm not sure about which has more power, but da sv-98 is more than likely more accurate. Bolt action rifles are more accurate than semi autos
@MadamKouassi 7.62x51 is generally considered as the same as .308, while the 7.62x54R is .308 inches by width, it's not considered as the .308. same difference as with 7.62 russian and 7.62 nato, x39 & x51 respecitvely.
@TTLYLOGANT Go fucking look it up, you are so stupid not to do any research before calling others stupid. The actual size of the 7.62 is smaller than the 7.82 of the .308 and the 7.62 is .306. However, and don't qoute me on this, I think that both types of ammo are available for this weapon.
@woprl Then why the fuck is it called .308 if it doesn't measure .308?! It doesn't make sense!! (By the way, I don't want to argue with you, just asking a question :))
@shipston05 7.62 x 51, otherwise "known" as 308 NATO. The .308 Winchester is the civilian version with some differences in chamber specs and maximum pressures. They are not one and the same, but they are interchangeable.
@shipston05 You're answer is in the difference in measuring the lands versus measuring the groves. And, sometimes (in rare cases) they change the "name" cal of the cartridge to differentiate it from another cartridge (i.e. .38 special and .357, they are the same physical diameter, but not the same cartridge at all)
Your right though, it can get confusing.
For the record... The BULLET and barrel diameter (to the groves) of both the .308 win (and 7.62 x 51) and the 7.62 x 54 are the same.
read the guys comment I was originally replying to... OVER A YEAR AGO. I was being sarcastic because the guy said it looks like an AWM.... You people are just being redundant with this omg IT IS an SV98... read ffs
SVD takes 7.62x54R, however I think you are refering to the 7N1 or 7N14 rounds which aren't rare, just expensive. They are sniper grade ammunition and the SV-98 will fir them, however I'm not sure of the accuracy increase with them.
It is rare because it is not available for export and there aren't any copies of it. The Dragunov is pretty rare, but it is available for export, and it multiple cheap look alikes, such as the Romanian PSL, while being a completely different weapon using the AK action, visually resembles a dragunov.
@jikininki1 svd ammo is is 7.62x54R, it just has a special boat-tailed bullet with a steel knocker in it that is designed for sniping and is more accurate. This ammo, though it could be wasteful, could be fired through ANY 7.62 Russian piece, even PK or something. Conversely, sniper rifles can shoot normal ammo too.

it's the green one he is using the commonly named Awp in games like Counter-Strike a really good sniper rifle adopted by some law enforcement and military around the world i love the handle and the agility and fast movement it gives the shooter specially when in movement
Well, in real life firearms don't sound as in movies, you know. Now you show me a quieter full-caliber rifle without a suppressor, and we shall talk again.
i was just commenting.. why did people give me thumbs down?? it does look like whats on counter-strike to me.. im sorry if im not a genius in rifles like what you people are.. damn.. chillax people..
.308 NATO, .300 Magnum or .338 Magnum and has a longer barrel. The SV-98 fires the AK47's bullet, which is basically a shorter version of the .308 (and is apparently a LOT louder)
My mistake, I was merely pointing out that the AK and .308 are the same caliber in terms of width (7.62mm is the same as .308cal), which is why it can be chambered for either bullet, but I will admit that it fires a longer bullet than the AK- my mistake. And for the sound, I was pointing out that it is still very loud even with a silencer/moderator on it. Other rifles such as the DSR-1 are quieter. Granted, it (the DSR) is designed for covert ops.
Omsbon is correct, the 7.62 x 51mm nato is interchangeable with the .308 in some weapons but the projectile, catridge and internal dimensions are different. .308 is 7.8 mm in diameter the nato is 7.82mm not much difference but a difference non the less.
@TheMohawkNinja That's the nominal caliber. The actual bullet diameter of the 7.62x39 is .311. Why are you guys digging up such old stuff anyway, especially when you haven't checked your facts?
@TheMohawkNinja Those random exceptions as you call them are not random at all. Many, if not most caliber designations do not equal the actual bullet diameter.
@TheMohawkNinja For various reasons. The caliber is the barrel diameter, either from land to land or from groove to groove. The bullet diameter must be slightly larger than the land-to-land caliber so the bullet can engage the rifling. Some designations are meant for distinguishing different rounds such as .222 and .223 Remington, both of which have the same .224 bullet diameter. Yet another rounds are named the way they are for commercial reasons, such as the .357 SIG.
That's one of the few. Most caliber designations don't match the actual bullet diameter. 7.62x54R, 7.62x39 and .303 British all have .311 diameter bullets. While the .308, .30-06, the .300 magnums, .30 carbine, .300 whisper, and many others are .308 diameter. The only one of those that gives it's actual diameter is the .308.
Also The .38 special, .380 ACP and almost every round with ".38" in it's name has a diameter of .355 or .357, not .38 as the name would have you believe.

At last a real sniper rifle for russia.
This is a very heavy one, superb barrel, ultra ergonomic stock, and 10 rounds magazine, yeah, superb rifle.
The 'rare" svd ammo is 7n14 (high precision steel core 7.62x54R), and of course you only use this in precision weapons.
certainly a better weapon that the Winchester 700 based US rifles (m24, m40...)
Only Sniper specialists and interior forces will have it, SVD is perfect for the marksman job in army (up to 800m)
