NON PUOI SFUGGIRE ALLA VITA

Parcheggio la macchina in cortile e come sempre guardo attraverso la porta-finestra della cucina, leggermente socchiusa.

Vedo un canovaccio appeso alla cappa aspirante sopra i fornelli e so che quello è il segnale che qualcosa è andato storto.

Entro.

Erano in cinque ma adesso ne è rimasto solo uno, terrorizzato e pieno degli schizzi di sangue dei membri della squadra di assalto; terrorizzato ma deciso a tenersi davanti mia moglie e a puntarle una Glock 17 alla tempia... no, scusate... è una Glock 22, quindi calibro .40.

Quello che lui non può vedere è lo Stand di mia moglie che gli galleggia sopra: Regina Noctis in piena modalità Der Hölle Rache kocht in meinem Herzen e infatti non mi stupisce notare i pezzi degli altri quattro sparsi sul pavimento della cucina.

Regina Noctis è uno Stand quiescente completamente cieco e sordo ma quando si strappano le suture da palpebre e padiglioni auricolari nemmeno io riesco a contenerne la sete di sangue.

Richiamala, per favore - le dico, tenendo d'occhio le lame dei coltelli da macellaio, viscide di sangue, che stringe in mezzo alle pallide dita oblunghe - perché non riesco a usare contro di lei il mio Earth On John, visto che non posso colpirti.

Regina Noctis scompare.

Il tizio sta farfugliando qualcosa su alcune foto compromettenti in mio possesso che devono essere distrutte ma continua a tenersi stretta a petto A. - che peraltro comincia ad avere un'espressione annoiata - e a farle oscillare la canna della Glock tra guancia e orecchio.

Ancora quella storia delle foto... cioè, perché devo avere lo stesso nome e lo stesso cognome di un fotografo fiorentino che si vuole atteggiare a fotoreporter d'assalto, salvo poi cagarsi in mano e lasciare che vengano a cercare me?!

Ok, amico, metti giù la pistola e poi ti dico dove trovare le fot... - mi fermo perché un piccolo puntino rosso sta sciabolando sul petto di A. per poi fermarsi in mezzo alla sua fronte.

Fisso, immobile.

Poi ricordo e capisco.

Guardo mia moglie negli occhi, sorrido leggermente e poi sussurro

- CAMMEI VATICANI...

Lei piega le ginocchia e si lascia cadere a terra, scivolando via dalla presa del tizio. Il puntino rosso che prima era in mezzo alla fronte di mia moglie adesso è sulla gola del poveraccio.

TUD!

E il tizio è a terra, con una presa d'aria supplementare tra mento e petto..

A. si rialza, guarda la porta-finestra e mi indica un piccolo foro nel vetro - È stato uno dei tuoi amici?

Diciamo di sì - le rispondo, uscendo in cortile - intanto vai a prendere il fusto di acido fluoroantimonico ché poi dobbiamo ripulire.

Ho calcolato la traiettoria di tiro, quindi so dove trovarlo.

Raggiungo il terrazzamento naturale sul fianco della collina, accanto al noce - Sai, quella volta non ti ho salvato dal barile mezzo pieno d'acqua perché poi tu ti dovessi sdebitare con me... questo non significa che io non ti sia riconoscente, però. Grazie e comunque... bel tiro!

Per terra c'è un fucile di precisione Dragunov SVD con mirino a intensificazione di luce notturna e puntatore laser, sul grilletto un piccolo topo che mi fissa coi suoi occhietti neri, fa vibrare i baffi e poi saetta via nella notte con uno squittio di saluto.

Come diceva il mio sensei 'Questo è il pianeta terra. Non puoi sfuggire alla vita neanche nel più tetro dei sotterranei'

Trick or treat!!

I gift you a Soviet SVD! It's chambered in 7.62 rimmed (not to be confused with 7.62 Soviet, which is what the AK-47 is chambered in)!

SVD stands for snayperskaya vintovka Dragunova, which is just Russian for "Dragunov sniper rifle". This rifle is so accurate that it's still in use by former countries of the Eastern Bloc, despite being over 60 years old!

[saturniandragon]

So far I have emotional support aircraft (Su-35BM and F-104B), emotional support supercar (2017 McLaren 675LT) but I don't have an emotional support gun yet.

The easy answer would be the original Soviet SVD-63/Dragunov but I'm partial towards a lot of other guns like the Croatian VHS-2 and the German MP5A2.

[howtofightwrite]

How big would an army of conscripts, armed with Dragunov pattern marksman rifles and iron sights, with between 1 and 3 magazines each, a radio headset that allows them to take orders on a platoon level (50 troops to be specific), and a single platoon artilleryman armed with an RPG-7 with 5 rockets, with assistance from a Mitsubishi Type 89 IFV (35mm autocannon, 7,62mm M240 pattern coaxial machine gun, tracked) and an aerial command/reconnaisance/attack/close air support aircraft, need to be to deal with an army of 1000 heavy pikemen, 50 elite knights, 200 heavy cavalry, 100 light cavalry and 200 longbowmen? The pikemen are armed with a pike and wear breastplates, pauldrons, gauntlets, a helm and chainmail. The heavy cavalry are armed with a heavy lance, a sword, cuirass and helm. Longbowmen use English yew bows and wear gambesons and a chainmail on the head. Light cavalry are armed with a spear, a short bow, and a small sword. The elite knights are armed with a heavy lance and a sword, and armoured in a full body suit of plate and horse barding, and they will move with the heavy cavalry.

Okay, so, for the record, you're not really supposed to use an SVD's iron sights. (SVD is short for “Dragunov Sniper Rifle,” so, these are formally called, “sniper rifles,” rather than just DMRs.) They were (supposed to be) issued with PSO-1 scopes. This can be a little amusing, because once you know what a PSO-1's range finder looks like, it's absolutely unmistakable, and you will see films and TV shows use them on other scopes. I bring this up, because the SVD has an effective range over 600 meters. (Specifications say it's good to almost 1.3km, but, that's very hopeful.)

However, with optics, those SVDs are going to massive out range any archer.

Your infantry have somewhere between 1k-3k packed rounds. So, if they were the only participants, they would need to be a little careful about ammo conservation. But, when you start factoring in the IFV, it doesn't matter.

This scenario isn't extraordinarily different from early battles in WWI. Where cavalry and infantry charged entrenched heavy machine gun fire, and were annihilated.

This is also a moment when the whole, “elite knight,” bit really doesn't matter. You have a minor noble, who spent almost their entire life training to be a better melee combatant. You put them in the best armor you've ever seen. And, then a bullet fired from a mass-produced sniper rifle, designed to be easily fabricated by anyone with a basic machine shop, and simple enough to be maintained by a barely literate conscript will drop them in less time than it takes to read this paragraph, before the knight even knows that someone is aiming at them.

I will say, this is a little bit of a weird combination, the Type 89 IFV, is a Japanese vehicle. The JSDF (to the best of my knowledge) has never used SVDs. These days, I think their DMR is the H&K 417. Until a few years ago, their primary infantry rifle was the Howa Type 89, which is basically a redesigned AR-18. Prior to that, they used the Howa Type 64, which was a 7.62mm battle rifle. (As far as I know, the Type 64 was domestically designed.)

The Russian/Soviet equivalent to the Type 89 IFV would be the BTR-80. As with the SVD, because it's a Romanized translation, BTR stands for, “armored carrier.” Somewhat obviously, these don't work particularly well if they're not maintained, or if the motor pool Sargent is stripping them for spare parts and siphoning gas to sell on the black market, because the government hasn't paid any of you in six months, but it's still going to have a fairly similar effect on those elite knights from the 11thcentury.

The 50 SVD rifles is weird. Full stop. It's a specialist weapon, not a general infantry weapon. In a situation like that, you'd expect to see conscripts armed with AKMs or AK74s, maybe a few SVDs and RPKs.

Now, if you were looking at a contemporary NATO unit from the 60s or 70s, then, yes, you would likely see battle rifles like the M14, FN FAL, or H&K G3. And, when you're describing using an SVD's iron sights, that's more how you have used one of those cold war era battle rifles. Also, while those rifles do have automatic settings, they're intended for semi-automatic fire.

If you're wondering why I'm not even addressing things like the areal support or the RPG, it's because they really don't matter that much. Areal reconnaissance means never having to wonder where the enemy forces are, but basically anything on this list except the RPG, could probably deal with all of the enemy forces on their own. Stacking them together would be absolutely devastating.

I'm not 100% sure, but I think you could use pretty much any modern IFV as a one-size-fits-all siege breaker if they're dealing with medieval forces.

When you're looking at modern military forces time traveling into the past, the biggest logistical issue is long term depletion of supplies. There isn't really a question of, “who's going to win? A guy with a rifle that's effective at a range of over a 1km, or 10 guys with pointy sticks. The issue is what happens in six months, or a year, when there's only three or four rounds left for that rifle on the planet, and, there won't be any more for another six hundred years.

🖊 Mari's favored weapon is the Dragunov SVD rifle. When she first got to Rook Islands, Vaas allowed her to pick a gun from a table of various models and she chose that. Later on, it ended up customized to the point the only thing that distinguished it as its model would be the stock's design. The color, sights, so many things were customized.

🖊 For Mari's first birthday as a Pirate, Vaas got her a necklace which is a thin, metal rectangle pendant that he had one of the more artistic and handy Pirates engrave it for her- it says "Te Amo ♡"

🖊 Before she and Vaas became official, Mari stayed in a shipping container converted into a small "building." Vaas had been saving it for someone special, and decided Mari was that person. However, once they decided to start sharing a living space, it became empty again.

Tysm for asking!! 🩷🩷🩷🩷

Tell me more about Yelena. now. this is a threat. /j

BITCH. That’s like, idfk re-asking because you already know everything. But okay fine, I’ll talk about miss gurl. /h /af

Blake Clarke = Yelena Krasnova. (Yes, her name was changed).

The CIA agentry and psychological file curated for Blake’s activities at the E-9 CIA Safehouse, and of which are de-classified amongst E-9 personnel consists of the following information;

Blake was born on September 2nd 1953, as of 1981 she is 28 years old.

Blake was born in Hastings, a town close to London.

Her primary association is within SIS (MI6) in the role of Squad Leader, or more commonly; foreign agent. Operation involvement and squad activities are classified. But it is cited that she once worked alongside Helen Park, in whom recommended her for toleration.

Blake is near unmatched in the field of marksmanship, her skills also follow into near unrivalled sniper and field training. Proving herself useful in guerrilla warfare tactics. Seemingly able to make anything a viable weapon, or aide. Thus, it is recommended E-9 personnel make use of this advantage during their OP. Blake’s primary carrying weapon is a the designated marksman rifle: the Russian Dragunov SVD. The methods in how she obtained the Soviet weapon are unknown. Blake has also excelled in engineering, though the classification of her time in the military is on an immediate need-to-know basis and personal involvement. Blake is also adept in QCB/CQC and her skills of being an active intelligence officer are more inclined towards keeping her head low and blending in, taking time to learn an areas customs where she can. Which usually goes swimmingly.

Blake is a highly combative and paranoid agent. Keeping to herself is common. Engaging in conversation may seem empty or coarse as Blake commonly interacts with blunt and dry humour. But she has a sense of wit. It is cited that she is a highly unstable asset on the field, endangering herself to get the job done to an almost entirely lethal degree. She has a loose trigger finger. And tends to interpret the actions of others as hostile or invective. While professional, she is almost incapable of getting along with her peers. And in the case that she does, the bond is unbreakable. She is reliable, but it would be advisable to keep her on a very short leash. Blake may be quick to irate, but her loyalty is sung for.(paranoid—violent tendencies skills).

Blake’s appearance is a touchy subject, her usual attire, is often adorned with a balaclava with an eye slit. On the baseline, Blake is a highly athletic individual, if a bit underweight. Agile and stable on her feet; likely the fastest runner within the E-9 CIA TF. In the terms of extremely baseline identifiers. Her eyes are an olive drab green, skin is sickly pale. It is not anyones guess that her hair may be a diluted wheat blonde, maybe sandy with somewhat darker roots. And the Balaclava doesn’t cover up the scars over her right eye, it’s anyones guess how far those scars truly go. But it doesn’t take a genius to realise they’re also on her hands; continently covered with a pair of gloves.

(Other) skills are as following; Bilingual; English and Russian, Basic Cryptology, Sniper and Marksmanship adeptness, High Levels of Fitness, Advanced QCB/CQC training, Guerrilla Warfare tactics, Advsnced Weapons Maintenance knowledge, Intermediate Engineering skills.

It is 5am. I am going to calm the feck down. Some things are subject to change but it should only be very minor things. Anyways, I’m soo fancy! 🫡

Meet the new Russian marksman rifle by Kalashnikov Group The first batch of the new Chukavin sniper rifles (SVСh) has been delivered to the Russian military after seeing action in the Ukrainian conflict zone. SVCh is a new Russian-designed marksman rifle made by Kalashnikov Concern, which is meant to become a successor to the ubiquitous Dragunov sniper rifle (SVD). Designed for combined arms warfare, the SVCh can be used to hit targets at a distance of up to 1,000 meters, though it can also be used in a close-range firefight. S

I deserve a Dragunov SVD every year actually.

[tlaquetzqui]

Turns out I might not need to base my setting’s main rifle on the SVU bullpup Dragunov. Modern guns can shoot battle-rifle rounds from ridiculously short barrels—there are 7.62×51 NATO rifles with 13-inch ones—and that’s only going to get better as technology improves. And reducing the barrel of the latest version of the SVD (the original non-bullpup Dragunov) to 13 inches (from 21.1) results in a rifle that’s only 934 millimeters long—only 2 cm longer than the US military’s new XM7.

And then if you put a stock shaped like the one on Kalashnikov’s in-development SVK (no relation, I think SV just stands for the Russian equivalent of “DMR”), which is 45 millimeters shorter than the collapsing stock on the SVDM, you get a total length of 889 millimeters—a whole inch shorter than the XM7, and the same length as the heavy-barreled version of the Steyr AUG.

THE SVD, DRAGUNOV. Russia's sniper rifle plus Combat accuracy test.

The SVD / Dragunov video took us a long time to complete. The Dragunov is perhaps the most recognizable sniper / dmr out there. I hope you enjoy this video and we do a dive on the SVD and see if we are Soviet Sniper material.
