New Silverback VKS Sniper Rifle - First Look

[Punisher3990]

Doesn't seem to be much info on it right now but they released these images yesterday on thier Facebook.

Going by one of SBAs reply similar price to the TAC41A so £300-400ish.

Ngl I kinda like it reminds me of the HTI

There's a fair bit of info out but you have to go hunting for it. Silverback released the manual for it a few weeks back, so looking at the breakdown of the system it appears to essentially a straight pull SRS with a 350mm barrel. Same SRS piston etc, just a different body. 63 BB's per mag, comes with options of either a full size or half size suppressor. Interestingly it will available in both spring and HPA too.

Prices will probably be closer to the SRS. I imagine most players will be ditching the suppressor anyway.

As for HPA that's gonna be the entire Silverback range soon - HPA versions available for all spring rifles and their AEGs.

I only just got a Tac41P so I didn't want to read into it too much; otherwise, I would get hit by the Airsoft Addiction and buy it lol when it releases in September.

I really wanted an SBA HTI a while back, but they are hard to come by now since they discontinued them and lets face it very impractical for actual games lol just like M82s.

The inner barrel cuts off exactly at the thread for the suppressor so it doesn't have to be run like the massive HTI. Plus this can be ran right or left handed which will be handy for some people, saves chasing down a left-handed SRS if you wanted a bullpup lol.

Pre-order at Longbow just went live... From £440 depending on which options you choose.

Yay, a funky bullpup Russian sniper that isn't made by Raptor

So as far as I can tell, it’s an srs in a Russian uniform ? Does look one hell of a beast

I assume as these start rolling out we’re going to see a lot of bare bones srs’s out there for sale.

Lol about sums up the size of the Suppressor

This is really cool

That bolt pull is smooth for a 2j spring. Not a big fan of pinching the bolt handle parts together before pulling it back. I'd imagine a simple 3D print will fit over it and keep all the parts together and act as a bolt handle.

yeah that bolt handle seems annoying

My guess is that because it's a straight pull, they found in testing/development it was a bit too easy to knock the bolt slightly and it wouldn't fire?
