This is my first Knex Weapon. I am hoping to make more soon, once I have sorted out the mechanisms. I will be building Russian Snipers, as I favour them.

The VSS, or "Vintorez" is one of the famous weapons used by the spetsnaz, the russian secret service. This is a very good stealth weapon, and one of THE best semi-auto snipers around. With a silencer around the barrel and the ability to take the gun apart, with simple slides, the VSS is an extremely effective weapon.

My knex version of the weapon, replicates many of the Key features of the VSS. The scope has been made to dimensions, and the stock has also been made similar. This is my prototype version, it does not fire yet, but I am hoping to get it to soon. The weapon is extremely customizable. Shown in this picture, is the first proto mods pack, of about 3 I will release. Most people should be able to copy most of the mods anyway. They include:

-VSS Scope Modification
-Display Bipod (Can support for battle)
-Dummy Laser
-M4 Carbine Battle Grips

The weapon also has a comfortable grip where you put your hand in position for firing.

I will keep working on the design, and will hopefully post it, if I can be helped.
NOTE - PLEASE RECCOMEND MECHANISM FOR GUN, I HAVE NOT FOUND A RELIABLE ONE YET.

Thanks to -

Dutchwarlord - For base design (Will be changing that for unique purposes)
Nightfox939 - For M4 grips. Also temporary, Due to change.

I WILL be changing the stock, and arrangement of the magazine for a VSS style, but with these parts, the gun is extremely sturdy, due to the 5 layer layout.

isnt Kalashnikov the russian name for the AK-47 or is it the AK-47's maker?
May 15, 2010. 8:04 AMTigerNod says:

Mikail Kalashnikov is the name of the maker of the AK-47, but the "AK-47" stands for "Avtomat Kalashnikova" with the 47 standing for the year it was built (1947). So he named the AK-47 after his own name.

Good base design, make a good slide for it and fire away!

How far does this gun shoot?

Jul 24, 2009. 11:42 AMshawbob says:
If you do opt for a slingshot system then i would recomend the mech that Knex Stealth used on his Springfield of something similar as it is able to hold loads of weight (BIG RUBBER BANDS). I have it on my gun and it hasn't jammed once and has a "easy-to-pull" trigger.
Feb 3, 2009. 1:04 AMknexguy says:
Looks great, I too would recommend a slingshot. By the way, the Spetsnaz was shut down a long time ago.
Jul 15, 2009. 2:47 AMTOMNDAN says:
i agree it's a good mech + nice scope!
Jun 3, 2009. 1:23 PMcobra 85 says:
is the scope adjustable you no with the wheel thing on the top
Jul 10, 2009. 2:07 PMRMConstruction says:
lol. it's for looks, what the hell would be able to move in side with a gear??
Jul 9, 2009. 1:00 AMSkreetsha says:
Is this your first posted k'nex gun or your first ever built? If it's your first build, we'll all get PWND to sh#t! XD
May 27, 2009. 3:26 AMdeathshells says:
you could use the firing mech off of the striker pistol, i love that mechanism because i was able to load up 11 #64's before the snowflake snapped. epic gun on its own! oh and please post this when you find a good mech as i wouldnt mind havin a crack at this one.

out of curiosity, if this sniper looks so cool, why does it have such a low rating?
May 20, 2009. 1:55 PMabsolutfrost says:

Mar 29, 2009. 8:20 AMcharlie farthing says:

SENDS SOME VIDS AND THEN ILL SAY HOW GOOD IT IS
Feb 2, 2009. 10:47 PMdutchwarlord says:
i think that a sling shot will be the best because you can hold your battle grip (look to killerks sr v1 or the VSS Vintorez by KnexStealth for a nice sling shot mechanism)
Feb 2, 2009. 12:16 PMalfpwns says:
*the stock/ handle looks lit it hurts aloot
