I assume when this was first entered into the OOB's this weapon was thought to be a specialized sniper weapon becasue that's the way it's been set up and used. Give me the name of one that is and I will change it

As a matter of fact SVD is not a "traditional" sniper rifle - its basic purpose - to increase range of effective fire motor-shooting section up to 600 m, to provide necessary shooting support (to suppress crew a machine gun, etc.) Unlike overwhelming majority of sniper rifles of the world, SVD the bayonet-knife is completed.


SVD it was widely used practically in all fighting operations spent by the Soviet and Russian armies from the moment of its acceptance on arms, and has proved to be sample of a small arms exclusively reliable and convenient in circulation. It is necessary to note, that in armies of some countries of NATO also there is a concept of " the weapon of support of the raised accuracy of shooting ". So, in armies of Germany and some other countries as "equivalent" SVD autoloading rifle G3A3/SG is used, in Sea Infantry of the USA are accepted on arms DMR - Designated Marksman rifles, representing or simply rifle M16A2 with an optical sight, or autoloading rifle SR-25 under a cartridge of NATO of 7.62 mm.

Range -- 600 m = 12 hexes.

I offer Range=15.
Also as well as at Sniper Rifle.
To hit the mark or suppression unit from SVD it is possible.

Hmm, but doesn't range figure into the accuracy as well? I guess the SVD shoukld be as accurate on the closer ranges its used on as the other sniper rifles.

However accuracy SVD is already insufficient for the decision of some sniper problems. So, modern requirements to the sniper weapon assume a deviation of hits no more than one angular minute. For range of 1000 m it makes 290 mm, for 500 m - 145 mm, 100 m - 29 mm. Meanwhile for SVD these figures are equal according to 480-560 mm, 188 mm and 36 mm.

To make Range = 15, Accuracy = 25 (for example).
