Dragunov

The Dragunov SVD is a Semi-Automatic Sniper Rifle in Death Arrival. It uses Heavy Bullets.

In-Game
This is the first Semi-Automatic Sniper Rifle in the Game.

Real Life
The Dragunov was designed as a squad support weapon since, according to Soviet and Soviet-derived military doctrines, the long-range engagement ability was lost to ordinary troops when submachine guns and assault rifles (which are optimized for close-range and medium-range, rapid-fire combat) were adopted. For that reason, it was originally named Самозарядная Винтовка системы Драгунова образца 1963 года "Self-Loading Rifle, System of Dragunov, Model of the Year 1963".

It was selected as the winner of a contest that included three competing designs: by Sergei Simonov, Aleksandr Konstantinov and Yevgeny Dragunov. Extensive field testing of the rifles conducted in a wide range of environmental conditions resulted in Dragunov’s proposal being accepted into service in 1963. An initial pre-production batch consisting of 200 rifles was assembled for evaluation purposes, and from 1964 serial production was carried out by Izhmash, later called Kalashnikov Concern.

In-Game Usage and Tactics
The Dragunov is made to be for close and far range. It's used for close range for the Crossair. It's also used for far range because of the damage.

Tactics

 * It is good to build a 1x1 base and shoot someone that is in another 1x1 (if he's not from far range), to get the easier headshots.
