Shouldn't it say that the gun is usualy used in semi-auto instead of it saying it is usually used in single-shot, because there is a difference.
Popular Culture
I would just like to note some of the media I've seen the VSS in: Video Games: STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl Battlefield: Bad Company SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs Tactical Strike
Anime: Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu

A large portion of the text on this page appears to be the same as the text on this page: http://world.guns.ru/sniper/sn20-e.htm There are line breaks at different points, but most of it is the same text. 76.229.90.74 (talk) 23:06, 19 July 2008 (UTC)
Why "thread cutter"?
I'v changed this to the "screw cutter" as this seems to me the right translations: vint (ru) = screw; rez (ru) - verb "rezat" (to cut) => screw cutter. --CopperKettle (talk) 14:37, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
- Thread, in the machining sense. "Thread cutter" makes sense as a translation (threading die).
- The word "screw" is too specific, because it means external thread, when you can also tap a thread on the inside of a hole. Since "винторез" is an unofficial and non-descriptive nickname for the rifle, and since this is a translation of the Russian word, I guess it doesn't matter what we call it. But I prefer "thread cutter," since it reminds me of what happens to the bullet as it passes through the rifled barrel. No offense if I change it back? 70.59.150.74 (talk) 04:34, 23 August 2008 (UTC)
