OTs-44
Revision as of 20:31, 11 March 2018 by Platapoop(talk | contribs)(duplicate nonormalcraft removed)
The OTs-44 is the largest sniper rifle produced by TsKIB SOO. Similar to the VKS, VSK-94 and VSS Vintorez, OTs-44 is also a suppressed sniper rifle. The OTs-44 is a bullpup anti-materiel rifle with an odd reloading method. Apparently, the barrel has to be offset forward for reloading. Reloading is done manually, which implies it is fed from an internal magazine. The rifle has an adjustable monopod at the rear, as well as an adjustable bipod up front.
OTs-44 uses the 12.7×108mm anti-material rounds, multiple designs on the gun to counter act the immense amount of recoil generated by firing the 12.7mm rounds, such as the integrated spring system in the gunstock and multiple gas release ports on the gun barrel. These designs effected the accuracy significantly, so the OTs-44 is not designed for long distance engagements, but instead it tries to offer greater devastation/penetration of covers at the effective range of 7.62mm rounds. It is also to be noted that suppressing the sound of a 12.7mm round shot is impossible without greatly effecting the bullet's travel path, the suppressor only serves to suppress the gunshot noise down to the same level as a SVD, in attempt to disguise the bullet calibration.
Obtainable from multiple event maps of Arctic Warfare. Added to heavy crafting pool as of the 6th of July 2017, can now be obtained heavy constructions.
