| rdfs:comment | - The VSS Vintorez is a weapon featured in Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six 3: Raven Shield. The VSS Vintorez (Special Sniper Rifle) was designed for special operations in 1987. This rifle has an integrated sound suppressor and uses special subsonic ammo - 9mm long cartridges.
- Pros: High Damage, Quick Firing Cons: No Burst Fire, Hard to Repair
- The VSS (, Vintovka Snayperskaya Spetsialnaya or "Special Sniper Rifle"), also called the Vintorez ("thread cutter"), is a suppressed sniper rifle developed in the late 1980s by TsNIITochMash and manufactured by the Tula Arsenal. It is issued primarily to Spetsnaz units for undercover or clandestine operations, a role made evident by its ability to be stripped down for transport in a specially fitted briefcase.
- The VSS (Vintovka Snaiperskaja Specialnaya) "Vintorez" (Thread Cutter) was designed at the same time as the AS "Val", for similar purposes and with similar construction. Unlike the AS "Val", however, the VSS "Vintorez" was designed as a sniper rifle. Both weapons, however, were not identified by Western forces until the early 1990s. Technically, the VSS "Vintorez" is a gas-operated silenced rifle. The rifle has a separate safety lever and fire mode button like the AS "Val". However, automatic fire is intended only for emergency situations, and puts inordinate strain on the gun.
- The VSS (Russian: Винтовка Снайперская Специальная, Vintovka Snayperskaya Spetsialnaya), "Special Sniper Rifle", also named Vintorez (Thread Cutter), is a suppressed sniper rifle in use by various military and otherwise militant organizations, especially those of former Soviet states. Since the VSS is meant for use in discreet operations, the VSS can be broken down into three parts to be carried in a special 450 x 370 x 140 mm briefcase. The briefcase also has space for a PSO-1 scope, a NSPU-3 night vision device, and two magazines.

| abstract | - The VSS Vintorez is a weapon featured in Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six 3: Raven Shield. The VSS Vintorez (Special Sniper Rifle) was designed for special operations in 1987. This rifle has an integrated sound suppressor and uses special subsonic ammo - 9mm long cartridges.
- The VSS (Vintovka Snaiperskaja Specialnaya) "Vintorez" (Thread Cutter) was designed at the same time as the AS "Val", for similar purposes and with similar construction. Unlike the AS "Val", however, the VSS "Vintorez" was designed as a sniper rifle. Both weapons, however, were not identified by Western forces until the early 1990s. Its development began in the late 1980s, when the Spetsnaz command requested the development of specialised weapons to suit their undercover and clandestine operations. Before that time, the Spetsnaz had used AK-47/AKM with detachable silencers and special subsonic ammunition and Stechkin APSB pistols. In 1980s, however, it was decided that those weapons were not adequate. The VSS "Vintorez" had been designed around a proprietary cartridge, designed solely for stealthy shots in the presence of enemy forces, the SP-5/SP-6. Measuring 9x39 mm, it is loaded with a heavy bullet, which travels with subsonic speeds thus carrying considerable more energy that smaller and faster rounds. The SP-5 is the standard ammo, while the SP-6 is a special armor-piercing round. Technically, the VSS "Vintorez" is a gas-operated silenced rifle. The rifle has a separate safety lever and fire mode button like the AS "Val". However, automatic fire is intended only for emergency situations, and puts inordinate strain on the gun. The VSS "Vintorez" is intended for sniper duty, and therefore, is usually equipped with a scope. Scope is mounted on a side rail to faciliate easy replacement of the scope to fit the current environment. The rifle is usually fitted with 10-round magazines, but can accept a 20-round magazine often found on AS "Val". Currently, the VSS "Vintorez" is employed by Spetsnaz, MVD and FSB. It had been employed against Chechen separatists, and operators affirm that it is a formidable and reliable weapon if used correctly. Some have noted that rounds fired from the VSS "Vintorez" take a moment to reach the target after the gun was fired.
- Pros: High Damage, Quick Firing Cons: No Burst Fire, Hard to Repair
- The VSS (Russian: Винтовка Снайперская Специальная, Vintovka Snayperskaya Spetsialnaya), "Special Sniper Rifle", also named Vintorez (Thread Cutter), is a suppressed sniper rifle in use by various military and otherwise militant organizations, especially those of former Soviet states. The VSS Vintorez was designed from the start to be a suppressed, flashless, sniper rifle. It uses a heavy subsonic 9 x 39 mm cartridge in combination with its integral sound suppressor. The heavy bullet is very effective at penetrating kevlar even with its sub-sonic speed. Its effective range is 400 meters. The VSS is normally used in semi-automatic, but it is capable of automatic fire. Since the VSS is meant for use in discreet operations, the VSS can be broken down into three parts to be carried in a special 450 x 370 x 140 mm briefcase. The briefcase also has space for a PSO-1 scope, a NSPU-3 night vision device, and two magazines.
