The AS VAL is a Russian-designed integrally suppressed assault rifle which includes an integral suppressor based off a prototype which was completed in 1891 by TsNIITochMash, which was created alongside the VSS Vintorez, which is a sniper rifle. Both weapons were developed to replace modified general-purpose firearms, in which manufacturing began at the Tula Arms Plant after their adoption by the Soviet Army in 1987.
Design[]
The AS VAL is integrally suppressed, with four rows of nine holes being drilled into the barrel which follows rifling and permits the gas to escape behind the barrel behind the projectile into the expansion chamber, wihch surrounds it as well. The baffles are also stamped out of a single sheet, and welded to a frame, which is applied against the front of the suppressor, though the manipulation is pretty much similar to many AK-type rifles. the weapon is calibrated for use with the 9x39mm cartridge as well.
There is a derivative known as the SR-3M, which is also known as the "Vikhr" which often replaces the stock, although it does not have the integral suppressor, though there are otoher weapons which are derived from the weapon as such as well.
