Video: Firing an SVD Dragunov Sniper Rifle and AK-74 in Slow Motion
Matt Korovesis 08.06.15
The Russian-designed Dragunov rifle is one of the most recognizable firearms in existence—its name and silhouette are almost as well-known as those of the AK and AR-15. However, there isn’t a wealth of information available on Dragunovs in the West, let alone slow-motion footage of them in action. Luckily, the OHub Labs team has good friends in gun places, and we were able to secure access to a Chinese-made Dragunov variant for a recent video shoot.
You can see that rifle in action below. We also brought out a Bulgarian-made AKS-74 clone and a heavily modified Krebs Custom Vepr in 7.62x54mmR.
Special thanks to RS Regulate for lending us the NDM-86 for the shoot! If you like this video, check out our video of an AR-15 with a Slide Fire stock shooting in slow-motion here!
I've been a history and gun enthusiast since I was a kid. I love to shoot just about anything, from silenced bolt-action .22s to fully automatic heavy machine guns, and I love even more when I get to write about them. My main interests are modern small arms and the military small arms of World War II and prior conflicts, with a particular focus on Russian and Finnish firearms. Reading about guns like the Mosin-Nagant rifle in books and on the internet got me interested in collecting, shooting, and writing about them, and I hope to do the same for others through my work.
