It IS actually very accurate, with kills recorded at 1300m. I see all the time people saying that they can't get good groups of 5 with a psl. Next time the enemy stands still for you to put 5 rounds in his eye, he'll be happy to hear that. Remember too, not a sniper rifle, not a battle rifle, somewhere in between.
Ok its a nice rifle and i wouldn't mind owning one (if they were still available) but how can anyone call it a sniper rifle, it shoot 2 to 4 moa at best.
@gigalo86 WTF the SVD and by SVD i mean SVD not a fucking clone nor a fuckin civilian clone of the damned clone, is 1-1.5 moa or is not accepted for service.
@PATRONSKiii wow saying "fucking" really help emphasize your point. Its 2-4 moa rifle assuming a few of the people working on it went drunk, not a sniper rifle, more of a designated marksman rifle. Plus a m4, which uses an intermediate short range cartridge, has a ticker barrel than the its pencil barrel. I do like the ak platform but have you ever examined a rifle from the Izhmash factory, which produces the original russian ak's? Cause if you have i don't see how can can say its 1 to 1.5 moa
@gigalo86 Yes it fucking emphasize my fucking point, you do like the AK "platform", that's great, but it's out of subject here we talk SVD. As i expected, you think SVD is an AK on steroid... The M76, PSL, ROMAK ARE AK on steroid, and offer 3-4 MOA, more on the 2-3 MOA range for military grade ones. But SVD is a totally different weapon, milled receiver, thicker barrel, short stroke piston, and 1-1.5 MOA for the izhmash military grade with 7n1 or 7n14 round.
@gigalo86 M4 is a 223 carbine how for the fuck's sake would it be comparable to a 311 rifle ? M4 effective range is 300m after its accuracy is unacceptable and its energy is rediculous. SVD 800 effective range with still enough energy to kill a bear. In soviet afghan war, soviet snipers scored 1000m kills with the 4xSVD, so it is a sniper rifle, as well as a DMR.
I noticed a lot of you here think the SVD is the same as an AK or PSL well NO! The SVD uses a short stroke gas piston with an operating rod and op rod spring then bolt akin to an M-1 rather than AK! The PSL is beefed up AK op rod piston and bolt carrier are all in one assembly
the bottom one at 31 secs isnt a real svd its a psl 54, totally different rifles. The pls is based on a AK type action, jus chambered lager and beefier
If you think this weapon is effective @1200m with iron sights or 1300m with a scope you have serious hallucination problems. I think its 500m for irons and 700m for the soviet scope for at least a 70% chance of a 1 shot hit. This aint no precision weapon.
Problems -this was not a documentary -half of those were Romanian psl -several were tiger rifles -same pictures are show over and over again -poor video -shitty music -I wanna see you or anyone shoot 1,200m with iron sights. The dragunov was intended for 600-800m shots using a scope at the most as a DESIGNATED MARKSMEN RIFLE. -several were airsoft -its 7.62x54r not "7.62x54mm" -
@crashtest2302 Yes, actually there is technically such thing as Soviet Russia. The Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic. RSFSR. Each individual Soviet (Council) state had a name of similarity to that.
SVD was never based on AK design :) It has other action. It look like an AK (like most ruSSian made guns) but it is not an AK-Style action rifle. Dont mix it with PSL
ummm actually the svd and ak, have 2 way different operating systems. the psl is baesd off the ak system, but not the svd. also at some point you have a pic of a psl in the vid. while this is a communist dmr, it is not a draugnov. its still a good rifle but its not an svd.
@Herbymac0811 You better start saving. Actual Dragunovs can cost well over $10,000. You can get a replica(like the ROMAK) for about $800, though. Yes, I said $800. BIG price difference, lol. I suggest you go with the replica.
@MostEpicMango No kidding man ! I'd love to have a real one but damn. And as of now it's a want not a need. But if I realy wanted a long range semi auto I'd put a scope on my M14. 800 sounds alot better though =)
@Herbymac0811 I want one, too. Soooo sexy. I don't have $10,000 to blow on a gun I probably won't shoot that much. The magazines are OUTRAGIOUS, too! I'm talking $100 outragious. For a piece of metal! Maybe one day I'll buy the replica...
Anyways, good luck on your firearms endeavors! I hope you can find a reasonably priced Drag. Message me if you do find a good one. I always love pics!
it uses different design to AK47/74 the sniper rifles that were used by Yugoslavia and some other East European country's are up-scaled AK47 design but not SVD people assume SVD does because the fire control layout is the same as the AK series assault rifles !
accually i named it svd to make it easyer to find but the true name of the gun in this documentry is the dragunov svd so they are both the same but there is a mosinata svd i no i spelled it rong srry but there is more then one type of svd class rifle put there
@daverocker1 Ahaha man, S.V.D (Snaiperskaya vintovka Dragunova) it means (Sniper Rifle Dragunov) so the D is for "Dragunov" (Снайперская Винтовка Драгунова), so normally we don't need to precise it once more, if you want to translate that term in english, that would normally be SRD then :D
ya it was based off the ak design like alot of soviet and russian weapons and evean some american weapons for reliability ak design just simply works thats y the ak-47 is the most widley used assualt rifle/ gun in the world with the worlds hightest total kill count
@howtoeat4 no disrespect, but in actuality the dragunov is completely unrelated to the AK series. it is purely asthetics. also, svd is an abreviation.(a word with s, a word with v, and dragunov). if you can read russian, look at the top of the screen at 0:04. it has it spelled out(i just forgot how to pronounce it.) hope this helps for future reference... yeah
@ghettopigman it isnt, though some of the pictures in this doc are of the PSL not the SVD. While the PSL looks a little like a SVD superficially, the PSL is essentially a scaled up ak. The SVD is a very different rifle.
@ghettopigman He is actually a complete idiot. The Dragunov and the Kalashnikov were designed years apart by completely different people. The design may look the same, but in all reality is completely different. Perhaps if you are thinking of the Romanian psl or the Yugoslavian m-76 which are stretched out aks other wise its unrelated.
The song is a bit better than the video itself. =D The song is the BOMB, considering it's Ozzy. On that basis, this video rocks. O-o I actually learned a crap-ton about the SVD xD
And for good reason. The AK-47 had already been praised by troops for reliabillity and perfomance so the designers basicly adapted the AK for long range use. Now as with the AK the design has changed very little in 40 years. "If it ain't broke don't fix it"
wow awesome i never knew it was made i 1960 thanks bro=) i love the video and the song=) thanks alot also! the svd is biger than i thout=) look 1:49 thanks bro
