The VSK-94 is a 9 mm silenced sniper rifle developed by the Russia KBP Instrument Design Bureau as a low-cost alternative to the VSS rifle. The rifle is based on the 9A-91 assault rifle. The VSK-94 was designed to accurately engage unarmored point targets at ranges up to 400 m.
The VSK-94 retains the gas-driven operating principle of the 9A-91 with a rotating bolt. The rifle features a stamped steel receiver, skeletonized polymer stock integrated with the pistol grip and a synthetic forearm. The VSK-94 is equipped with a 4x optical sight and standard flip iron sights from the 9A-91.
The threaded barrel is designed to use a specifically designed silencer.
The rifle uses 9x39mm ammunition that consists of PAB-9 armor-piercing, standard jacketed SP-5 and SP-6 rifle cartridges feeding from a 20-round detachable box magazine.
The VSK-94 is in limited use with several law enforcement organizations in Russia.
