The Firearms of Russian Special Forces: Inside the Spetsnaz Arsenal
"Here, 24/7 Wall St. looks at weapons used by Spetsnaz Special Forces, which offers more insight into the weapons used by elite forces - including weapons with ranges over 19,000 feet, which exceeds the height of many mountains. We reviewed a catalog of small arms from Military Factory, an online database of military vehicles, aircraft, and arms. We excluded overly similar guns and guns believed no longer in use by the Special Forces."
"We ranked the remaining guns by when they entered service. Supplemental data on the type of weapon, maximum effective range, and the caliber of ammunition used also came from Military Factory. This list includes a wide range of weapons from silenced assault rifles to automatic grenade launchers. Each weapon plays a role in Special Forces' missions, such as quiet extractions or guerrilla warfare."
