“You have to understand what tasks army snipers need a rifle for. This is not a 2 km shooting range, as the Stalingrad rifle shoots. It is shooting at a range of up to 900-1000 m maximum – what this sniper himself can see. Naturally, the rifle must be automatic, designed and manufactured with regard to the conditions in which the army sniper fights. That includes mud, dust, frost and heat,” Timoshenko explained.
