Overview[]
The VSS is an incredible DMR, with: good accuracy; minute recoil; rapid firing; decent reloads, weight and damage; and to top it all off, completely silenced. One of the best choices for long range ambushes, and the arcing trajectory can be frustrating, but is useful for firing over cover. with the option of the reflex sight, it can be used in mid or even close range by utilising its impressive fire rate and damage.
Unfortunately, it is semi-auto only (select-fire in real life), which makes it difficult to use in fast pace CQC. It also has an extremely short service life, at 180 shots per gear, as well as expensive to upgrade, costing seven skill points to max out modifications.
Overall, it is an effective weapon that is adaptable to many scenarios, and exceptional in many of them. Just be aware of the costly maintenance.

IRL[]
The VSS "Vintorez" is a Soviet Russian sniper rifle that was introduced in 1987. It is integrally suppressed, and was produced for special purpose units, such as Spetsnaz. The "Vintorez" rifle, paired with the PSO-1 scope and a special 9x39 subsonic cartridge, SP5 & SP6, form a silent, long range, armor piercing weapon system, called the VSK.
the VSK "Vintorez" is able to provide a covert group silent incapacitation of hostiles, and has been tested against and pierced bulletproof vests of type 6B2 (2nd and 3rd class of protection), as well as steel army helmets at distances of up to 400 metres.
