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.

i think that if you are gonna advertize a lazer on it you should remove "This is a very good stealth weapon" because that is a failure i think f0ur and a 1/2 st*rs

isnt Kalashnikov the russian name for the AK-47 or is it the AK-47's maker?
TigerNod in reply to bighead5454May 15, 2010. 8:04 AM

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.

Yeah, sorry about that xD I have about.. 4 boxes of knex, Each very large tubs. But if you want large amounts of knex, Dutch's gun should give you something to laugh about O.O

Good base design, make a good slide for it and fire away!
hedzup456 says: Mar 6, 2010. 3:14 AM
How do you make the sight?
I have made many knex guns but all have rubbish sights!
Please post an instructible on the making of the sight-Im desperate for a decent sight i can put on my guns!!

How far does this gun shoot?

shawbob says: Jul 24, 2009. 11:42 AM
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.
knexguy says: Feb 3, 2009. 1:04 AM
Looks great, I too would recommend a slingshot. By the way, the Spetsnaz was shut down a long time ago.
TOMNDAN in reply to knexguyJul 15, 2009. 2:47 AM
i agree it's a good mech + nice scope!
cobra 85 says: Jun 3, 2009. 1:23 PM
is the scope adjustable you no with the wheel thing on the top
RMConstruction in reply to cobra 85Jul 10, 2009. 2:07 PM
lol. it's for looks, what the hell would be able to move in side with a gear??
Skreetsha says: Jul 9, 2009. 1:00 AM
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
deathshells says: May 27, 2009. 3:26 AM
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?
absolutfrost in reply to knexsniper1May 20, 2009. 1:55 PM
because its not a working gun yet
charlie farthing says: Mar 29, 2009. 8:20 AM
ditch the site but apart from tht it lookes like a good gun
pls says: Feb 2, 2009. 4:09 PM
Wow this is your first?? Looks awesome!!
KillerRazor (author) in reply to plsFeb 8, 2009. 1:06 AM
Yep. The only original part, is part of the barrel :)
pls in reply to KillerRazorFeb 8, 2009. 1:09 AM
Still looks great
knex phantom in reply to plsMar 8, 2009. 2:06 PM
hai wats up homes...idk who u r
pls in reply to knex phantomMar 8, 2009. 7:31 PM
Lol, nothin:p
KillerRazor (author) in reply to plsFeb 8, 2009. 9:33 AM
Heh, thanks. By the way, barely any of this stuff exsists on the Vintorez, but It gives it more bulk.
connorty says: Mar 5, 2009. 3:25 PM
SENDS SOME VIDS AND THEN ILL SAY HOW GOOD IT IS
dutchwarlord says: Feb 2, 2009. 10:47 PM
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)
KillerRazor (author) in reply to dutchwarlordFeb 8, 2009. 1:22 AM
And it is one of most reliable, and powerful mechanisms about, as far as I've seen. Problem is, my modded gun is a little on the... Small side lol. Compared to KillerK's gun at least. I think i'll look at the other VSS vintorez again, to see if I can implement anything nice.
KillerRazor (author) says: Feb 8, 2009. 1:06 AM
Thanks for all of your comments. I excpected a LOT less support than this. I was looking at the slingshot system, but Amending Dutchwarlord's system to it may be somewhat a handful. Also thanks for the fact it is also full auto!! I swear that it was only semi. Meh.
KillerRazor (author) in reply to KillerRazorFeb 8, 2009. 1:08 AM
BTW, built for sturdiness, not just the looks ;)
alfpwns in reply to alfpwnsFeb 2, 2009. 12:16 PM
*the stock/ handle looks lit it hurts aloot
KillerRazor (author) in reply to alfpwnsFeb 8, 2009. 1:08 AM
You'd be surprised, it is incredibly comfortable. I have built in a comfort zone for your fingers, by the barrel, to make it more to your liking.
