The VSS Vintorez is a mysterious suppressed full-automatic sniper rifle from Russia. It is issued primarily to Spetsnaz units for undercover or clandestine operations. It is only recently discovered by the other nations through recent wars. Therefore, VSS has only now begun to show up in the entertainment industry, such as movies, video games, and airsoft.
Trivia
VSS stands for Vintovka Snayperskaya Spetsialnaya or "Special Sniper Rifle".
That's right, there has never been an airsoft replica of the VSS Vintorez in the past. Commercially, anyway. And Echo1 has now produced the first commercial airsoft replica. In this article, we will be experimenting with the Echo1 Red Star IGOR VSS Vintorez airsoft sniper rifle.
The box content includes the VSS Vintorez rifle, two high-cap magazines, a NiMH stick battery, and a battery charger. Strangely, the user manual is not included. Good thing that the user manual is available as a PDF on Echo1's web site.
