Apart from aesthetics / mag size / mounts etc, what's the mechanical difference between the AS Val and the Vintorez? Or are they of the same platform?

On a related note, is there any truth to the hype about the high performance armor piercing ability of 9x39?
Going sanic fast is the primary method of punching deep holes in hard things and the 9x39 is subsonic.
Is it relative to other subsonic cartridges compared against soft armor or is it genuinely a good armor piercing round?
>>33345694
They're both fucking gay.

First question: Little to none. Trigger on the Vintorez is probably a bit better, but as no one on here has ever handled one or the other no one knows.
Second question: It's compared to other subsonics.
>>33345694
Vintorez is good, but the ammo is scarce unless you're mostly fighting Monolith. Since that doesn't happen until the last act, I recommend you put it away and save it until you head to Pripyat.

None. AS, VSS and SR-3 are all the same gun bar the stock and cocking handle

Sexy as fuck.
The VSS is said to use better barrels than the rest, but I cant imagine that means a whole lot when all of them have barrels only a few inches long and with a bunch of holes drilled in them.
>>33345719
The weapon was designed to fulfill a niche anti-material role so go figure.
>>33345694
early VSS are striker fire gun
late VSS are slide hammer gun
all AS val are striker fire gun
VSS is manufactured with tigher tolerance and the QC is more hard
>>33346269
that is a Val with a SBR kit, not SR-3
>>33346293
the rifling is different, ammunition are interchangeable though

SR-3 have new design gas system due to the shorter barrel and it is not suppressed
>>33345719
only the armor piercing rounds have good armor piercing
i think sp6 would be one of those rounds.
I want a AS Val so much man

>those tooling marks
Goddamn, I'd hate to see what the 9A-91 looks like up close.
