The A&K SVD Sniper Rifle (Dragunov) is a Soviet rifle that was introduced in 1958 and accepted in the military on 1969. It is an adaptation of the AK-47 which was made to accurately keep troops at 650 meters. The Dragunov is a semi-automatic rifle chambered in 7.62x54Rmm. The maximum effective range of the Dragunov is 850 meters while the maximum range is 1,300 meters with scope. The Dragunov was designed by Evgeny Dragunov.
As far as the shooter can see.
The A&K SVD sniper is a clone of the classic AtoZ (Classic Army) SVD. The AtoZ was known for its ability to take a very strong spring without any upgrades. I would assume the A&K version could also take a large spring. The best choice is a 150 spring. These usually fire around 500fps. A note, however, is that the SVD can take regular AEG springs, but the gun will not always shoot the the spring rating, and this is because the SVD needs a longer spring. A PSG-1 spring should provide the best results.
Dragunov SVD (Russian semi-automatic sniper rifle)
Snayperskaya Vintovka Dragunova. Translated, would amount to something like "Dragunov's Sniper Rifle".
Assuming you mean which sniper rifle (as it is quite obvious from the plot who the actual sniper was), the weapons used over the series include: * M40 (customised Remington 700); * H&K SR9T (a target-shooting variant); * SVD (Dragunov sniper rifle); * Mosin Nagant M91/30 (mislabelled as a Mauser in the film). Other weapons are used in the third film, but no record of their make could be found.
Springs in airsoft are never "modded" they are upgraded. An overall good brand for springs is guarder. Their springs usually run from $15 to $35 dollars. Madbull makes decent AEG springs for the money if you sniper takes an AEG spring (like the A&K SVD).
I recommend going to Ebay or Craigslist to try and find something like that.
Roughly in the 308 range.
M40A3,M21,M14,R700,M24,M82,M92,M107,SVD,DSR-1. That's all that I know of right now.
Yes. I own the rifle myself, buy .36g BBs, or else the power of the rifle will send the BB flying in the wrong direction.
If you mean the SVD Sniper rifle manufactured by the Soviet Union, no, it is not a .50 caliber weapon. It fires a match grade version of the 7.62 X 54R cartridge- the same round used by the Moisin-Nagant 91/30 rifle (and the M38 and M44 Carbines). Wikipedia has a good concise article on the Dragunov sniper rifle. Enjoy.
Yes. H&K PSG 1 is one.
