VKS Vykhlop

# 🎯 VKS Vykhlop — 12.7x55mm Suppressed Sniper Rifle

A quiet, hard-hitting bullpup bolt-action rifle. It fires 12.7x55mm STs-130 **subsonic** rounds through an **integral suppressor**, so there's no loud crack giving away your position.

**Loadout**
- 8-round magazines: **AP** (armour-piercing) and **API** (armour-piercing incendiary)
- Two versions in the arsenal: **iron sights**, or **Scoped** with a 5–25x day scope
- Flip-up iron sights, and a **bipod** for prone and rested shooting

**Scope (5–25x)**
- Variable zoom from 5x to 25x
- Zeroing from **100 m to 800 m**
- Illuminated red reticle for low light

**🫁 Hold Your Breath**
While aiming down sights with the VKS, **hold your breath to steady the rifle**:
- You're rock steady for about **8 seconds**, then the sway fades back in over the last 2
- Let go and your breath refills in about **5 seconds**
- It only works when aiming down sights with the VKS

**🔁 Auto Rack (optional)**
Off by default, so you rack the bolt yourself with your reload button.
Turn it on in **Settings → Controls → VKS → Auto Rack Bolt**.
When it's on, the bolt works itself after each shot. If you stay scoped in, it **waits** so you can watch your round land, then racks as soon as you come off the scope.
