“	The SVD (Dragunov) rifle is a semi-automatic gas-operated rifle developed in the 1950s to serve as a means to give the individual squad more long-range firepower. Much like the AKM, the SVD can be seen as an export weapon to a number of former Soviet countries and can be found in the hands of many militia and insurgent groups. It comes equipped with a 4x PSO-1 scope that has a built in bullet drop compensator (BDC) as well as range adjustment options out to 1000m.	„

Gameplay

The SVD box magazine holds 10 rounds.
Can be fired only on semi-automatic.
The sights for SVD is the PSO-1 (4×) telescopic sight only.
- The PSO-1 (4×) sight allows the user to see enemies from long distances easily and engage enemies at longer ranges without the need to zero the weapon. The sight includes an older-styled chevron reticle and a built-in stadiametric rangefinder. The zeroing of the PSO-1 can be adjusted from 100 meters to 1000 meters, further enhancing its long-range precision.
The SVD shares its ballistics and damage model with QBU88 and SVDM.
- They have one of the longest 2-hit kill distances at 710m due to their high damage output. This is compensated by the small magazine size of 10.
SVD is classified in-game as the Designated Marksman Rifle. Marksman Rifles have handling characteristics similar to Battle Rifles. Compared to their rifle counterparts, they have more sway, slightly lower point fire responsiveness, and excessive recoil.
- They output suppression effects akin to Light Machine Guns and are effective at medium to longer ranges.
The SVD was added to the MEA with a direct combat version of the marksman role in version 8.2

History

The SVD rifle was designed by Yevgeny Dragunov in 1958, and was adopted by the Soviet Army in 1963 and later the Russian Ground Forces in 1991. This DMR is very popular and mainly used as the standard DMR for post-Warsaw Pact nations and rebels. The SVD is mounted with a PSO-1 telescopic sight which provides 4x zoom and incorporates a thin barrel, dust cover, gas-piston system, iron sights, lever safety selector, flash suppressor, and a unique wood stock design. The gun uses 10-round detachable magazines. It uses 7.62x54mmR cartridges.

Trivia

The SVD stands for Snayperskaya Vintovka sistemy Dragunova (Снайперская Винтовка системы Драгунова) which translate from Russian to English, "Sniper Rifle of the Dragunov System".
