Now, to create interesting video clips, you don’t need to call expensive pyrotechnicians, but just buy a cooled SVD and in a prepared place you can start shooting interesting videos.

Sniper rifles straight from the USSR are remembered by the world for their lethality, bullet speed, accuracy, excessive strength and ability to work even after the most hellish operating conditions, be it mud or water. In addition to military purposes, the rifle was often used for sporting and hunting purposes. To this day, this weapon is in service with more than 25 countries around the world.

In our store we present a safe, or rather watered-down version of a rare sample. The specimen was secured by adding several pins to the barrel.

At the same time, it was possible to maintain the complete assembly and disassembly of the product without additional changes.

Manufacturers left the rifle with a native caliber of 7.62 mm x 54 mm (noise) , and light-noise imitation cartridges of 7.62x54R caliber are suitable as ammunition.

The magazine was also left untouched; the original configuration includes a steel magazine for 10 rounds without the need for additional expansion.

Even taking into account the fact that the weapon is cooled, the cartridges fly out of the receiver and at the moment of firing, the powder gases create a fiery pop and smoke in exact similarity with the SVD combat series, which will allow you to immerse yourself in those times and hear the true sound of that rifle.

The SHP SVD Dragunov sniper rifle has a semi-automatic firing mode, which means that after the shot there is no need to pull the shutter. At the same time, the rate of fire is competitive and amounts to 30 rounds per minute. But according to the law, you can shoot from cold weapons at specially designated firing ranges.

The stock and fore-end in this series are made of black plastic, which creates a pleasant sensation during tactile contact with the rifle itself and does not slip or fly out when firing. The cheek pad is removable and consists of a pillow and a plastic base. The body is made of weapons-grade metal in black.

The size of the rifle is rather large and is 1230 mm in length and 170 mm in height, which solves the problem of carrying it, because with such dimensions you can use both weapon cases and covers that you will find on the website. The only thing worth knowing is that you need to have a certificate of conformity with you when traveling by public or private transport. The weight of the product is 4.0 kg and is not felt when carried.

Types of blank cartridges

There are many varieties and calibers of light-sound cartridges. For example: cartridge of caliber “22 Long Blanc” 5.6x16 for signal revolvers Lom-S, Power Alarm; and self-loading pistols such as Stalker m906 from Zoraki. Light-sound cartridges 5.6x16 are often used in brass (Hilti construction cartridges) with a brown head. With such cartridges, the mechanics of the flare weapon work properly without modifications, and allow you to launch flares without any problems. There are also domestic cartridges of the same caliber, but their use can cause misfires, and they also have a different power.
