It was developed in around 2002 for the special forces units of the FSB.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhile faithful in overall layout, materials, and design philosophy, this airsoft version includes adjustments necessary for airsoft use and is not a strict one-to-one replica.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe rifle shares core mechanical components with the SRS platform, including the cylinder, piston, and spring guide, while retaining the same 41 cc air volume.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt also integrates the TDC hop-up system and a 63-round double-stack magazine.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis shared architecture provides immediate access to a wide range of existing Silverback upgrades and spare parts.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDevelopment focused on realistic, tool-less disassembly for easy maintenance, resulting in a quiet and efficient spring-powered bullpup platform.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe VKS uses the same core mechanical architecture as the SRS platform.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe surface finish is intentionally relatively raw, matching the appearance and texture of the original design.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe VKS hop-up system uses the SRS form factor with the TDC adjustment philosophy introduced on the TAC-41 platform.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe hop-up chamber keeps the same diameter and length as the SRS hop-up system, while introducing a top-down adjustment system for improved consistency.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe VKS hop-up chamber is currently compatible only with the dedicated VKS outer barrel.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe VKS is supplied with three different hop-up nubs:\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLow nub (+0 µm) – factory installed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMedium nub (+250 )\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh nub (+500)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA taller nub allows additional hop-up effect when required by your setup. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe rifle can be largely disassembled without tools by simply removing two pins.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe safety selector is located on the rear left side of the rifle and features two positions: fire and safe.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe piston sear can position can be adjusted, a finer adjustment can significantly reduce trigger pull weight.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe VKS ejection port cover can be configured in two different ways:\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDynamic configuration: the ejection port opens when the bolt is operated, reproducing the realistic operation of the firearm.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFixed configuration: the ejection port remains permanently closed. This configuration reduces exposure of the internal mechanism to dust, dirt, rain, and harsh environmental conditions. While less realistic, it is recommended for players operating their VKS in demanding outdoor environments.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe VKS can easily be converted from right-hand to left-hand operation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe conversion requires the dedicated left-hand bolt handle: SBA-BTH-80 (sold separately)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe VKS was designed with a strong focus on realism and quality, both visually and mechanically.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFiberglass reinforced Nylon polymer components.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStamped steel top cover.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCNC machined aluminium internal receiver.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSteel components receive a hot black oxide treatment for protection.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSteel components require proper care - Regular cleaning and lubrication are recommended to prevent corrosion, especially on: Top Cover, Trigger Guard, Suppressor muzzle cap and base, safety selector, buttplate base, bolt handle, rails\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe VKS is equipped with a long CNC picatinny rail, and no iron sights, like on the most recent VKS models. The use of a scope is recommended (Sold separately).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe rifle is supplied with two side Picatinny rails made from fiberglass reinforced Nylon.
