SVDK

SVDK

SVDK (Russian : СВДК) is a Russian sniper rifle from the Dragunov sniper rifles family chambered for the 9 x 64 mm round. The Dragunov SVDK large caliber sniper rifle (any rifle in caliber above 9mm is considered a large caliber in Russia) is a somewhat controversial weapon, recently adopted by Russian army. It was developed through "Vzlomshik" (Breaker) research and development program, along with 7.62mm SV-98 sniper and 12.7mm ASVK anti-materiel rifles. The purpose of SVDK is to deal with targets which are too hard for standard 7.62x54R sniper rifles like SV-98 or SVD, such as assault troops in heavy body armor or enemy snipers behind covers. There also were rumors that SVDK will serve as a long-range anti-personnel weapon.

The effective range of SVDK is cited as 'about 600 meters'. The 16.5-gram bullet has a hardened steel core and is launched at about 770 m/s, generating about 4900 Joules of muzzle energy. At 200 meters the 7N33 bullet has 80% chances to penetrate 10 mm (0.4") armor plate. It is interesting to note that 9,3x64 7N33 sniping cartridge is actually based on 9.3x64 Brenneke hunting round, designed in early 20th century for large game hunting, and the SVDK started its life as a 9.3x64 "Tigr-9" hunting rifle, based on SVD design.
