SVDS-7 AND SVDC-7
MAY NOT SUBMIT, JUST AN IDEA
In the year 1970, the Soviet Union, in an attempt to provide a small, high powered rifle system to those in espionage roles, the SVDS-7 was produced and trialled with only a handful of operators in covert assassination missions. The weapon uses a case-less round so it is impossible to be traced and is integrally suppressed, so as to maximise noise reduction and ergonomics.
The weapon saw some success, but due to its tendency to jam after use and the discomfort in firing it, it was eventually scrapped and the funds diverted to new projects. However, though discarded, the weapon did see an evolution for one specific operator’s preferences in the form of the SVDC-7 on an unnamed mission. The operator requested the mechanics of the firearm be inverted to allow a single firing of a round inserted into the open bolt, the round not being ejected and the weapon essentially failing, the mission probably requiring only one shot. The operator was rumoured to have been opposed to case-less ammunition, seeing it as a “manifestation of the insidious, coercive influence of the western capitalist pigdogs”. Don’t fix what ain’t broke, I suppose.
