[Affinity] Gora Vur RS-9 Marksman Rifle (Remake) by MikePrivalis on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

This artwork depicts a weapon which is a part of my sci-fi world's lore. Do not copy the design, use it in your own artworks, or claim it as your own!

Lore and Description:

The RS-9 is a marksman/sniper rifle developed by Gora Vur. It is essentially a derivative of the KRG-7 assault rifle, using very similar mechanism, upscaled to fire a more powerful 8 × 56 mm round. The weapon is semi-automatic and it fills a gap between an assault rifle and a traditional sniper rifle operated by a dedicated sniper team, the idea being that a soldier equipped with this weapon could be a member of a regular infantry squad. It is usually fed by a 16-round detachable magazine. A side-mounted rail allows the attachment of various optics, the most commonly used one is a 4-power CCP-4 optical sight. The weapon saw use in the Rotharnian army, but has since been replaced by more modern rifles. It can still be found in hands of insurgents and private military organizations though.

Inspiration and Background Information:

This weapon is an analogy of the real-life SVU Dragunov, although its design is derived from my KRG-7 assault rifle, so apart from the general layout, it is actually quite a bit different when looking at individual parts and details.

Used Software:

Affinity Designer

This is a redesign of my earlier concept, which you can find HERE.

If you like this deviation, do not hesitate to fav it, or leave a comment if you have anything to say. 🙂
