Talk:AS Val and VSS Vintorez

Source 📝

1223:– The VSS should come first before the AS because the VSS (Vintorez) was produced first. The AS (Val) was derived from the VSS project. Adding the parenthesis on the Vintorez and Val is necessary to let the readers know that these names are distinct and should not be used in unison. Official nomenclature for these rifles are; 'VSS Special Sniper Rifle and AS Special Assault Rifle'. VSS and AS for short. The 'Vintorez and Val' were merely project names given to these rifles during their developmental stage. This was given in order to confuse foreign agencies during the Cold War. It is correct to refer to these rifles as; 'VSS Special Sniper Rifle', 'VSS', 'Vintorez' and 'AS Special Assault Rifle', 'AS', 'Val'. But it is incorrect to refer to it as 'VSS Vintorez' and 'AS Val'. By put putting the parenthesis on the 'Vintorez and Val' it will separate the official name and the project name so readers would know the difference. 1874:. A search for "VSS rifle" gives mostly results saying "VSS Vintorez" in news and general results. That leads me to believe VSS Vintorez is more common in English. That is the relevant standard — not what might be more official. Generally, the results do not include parentheses or quotations. Accordingly, I have to conclude that the current name is more common. Switching the order back should be uncontroversial though. Also, the name "AS rifle" or "AS sniper rifle" on its own is problematic in English because searching that gives you basically no relevant results. Hence it is more convenient to use the term "AS Val." (Meanwhile, should this page be split into two articles, one for each type of gun?) 413: 395: 367: 1437:
was following the alphabetical order guideline. Then when I was digging through reliable sources (also used by the Russian Knowledge article of these two rifles). I realised that the VSS was produced first and the AS is simply a derivative of the VSS. That's why I want to put the VSS before the AS. Now regarding the new tittle that I moved it to which was 'VSS and AS'. After it was reverted, I understand that it does go against "COMMON Name" guidelines. So I decided to put a parenthesis on them. To give distinction between those names.
580: 351: 423: 1563:
Your assumption that TNI got their name from Knowledge is exactly that, an assumption and meaningless conjecture. The Recoil article, as with any RS, is appropriate for use as a reference in some circumstances, and not others. As the current circumstance is determining what name is used in the majority of independent, English-language sources, then the fact they use this particular name is perfectly viable for use herein.
335: 22: 220: 74: 53: 292: 281: 1588:"Jane's Infantry Weapons", either way does not use "AS Val or VSS Vintorez". It uses "AS supressed assault rifle" from what you said. You already have one reference that goes against your own argument. I'm not removing the Val and Vintorez from the tittle but putting a parenthesis to indicate to readers that these are two different names used to refer to the same rife. 537: 497: 178: 146: 696:
duplicate some of the Val's other features, like using a scope and a suppressor. If indeed the Groza rifle uses 75% of the parts for the AKS-74u carbine, then it could be made more cheaply as well by re-using those same manufacturing plants and machines instead of making and using a dedicated plant just for the Val rifle.
270: 259: 248: 1079:- official promotional video from the weapon's manufacturer also states that the name of the weapon is simply 'AS' but is also referred to as the 'Val'. Note that they didn't call it the 'AS Val' but either 'AS' or 'Val' since both names refer to the same weapon but not in unison. Same goes for the VSS 1903:
I'm personally in favor of a change to distinguish the "official" acronym name from the "informal" name. Although it is not so critical or damaging for some people to continue thinking they are the "full" names, it would be beneficial to clarify that they are two distinct names and would not subtract
1562:
Your dismissal of the sources has very little congruence. I said "Jane's Infantry Weapons", because that is the name of the work, and also the name that appears on the front cover, and a separate work from Jane's Guns Recognition Guide, so why you would use a page from the latter source is beyond me.
1436:
This argument about which name should be used started when I moved the page from 'AS Val and Vintorez' to 'VSS and AS'. Note that I was the one who moved the page from the former tittle (VSS Vintorez and AS Val) given after the merge of the AS Val and VSS Vintorez. I placed the AS Val first because I

I don't know how many times I need to reiterate "independent, reliable, English-language sources". Ukrainian Knowledge is neither reliable nor in English, and infographics or anything else that comes from the manufacturer doesn't carry any weight here, as they are neither independent nor in English.

The listed literal translation for the weapon's Russian name is "special assault rifle". In reality, avtomat is Russian for "machine" or "automatic". While the word has been connoted with assault rifles thanks to the AK, it doesn't necessarily refer to an assault rifle. It really refers to automatic

Even so, I'm surprised the Russian military has BOTH the AS Val and the OTs-14 Groza in circulation. According to the Groza's page here on wikipedia, it can do a great deal the AS Val can't, including mounting a grenade launcher, using a bayonet, being transported in a special carry case, and indeed

It's not personal 'inventions' as you claim it to be. I've already given necessary links to the original manufacturer of this rifle. This new proposed tittle does not conflict common name since it mentions the "Vintorez and Val". It just shows your lack of knowledge of this particular firearm. This

Because that is how the Russian manufacturer categorises the 'AS special assault rifle'. The manufacturer's official classification of the AS 'Val' is a special assault rifle. For any firearm to be categorised as an 'assault rifle', it must be chamber in an intermediate calibre. Assault rifles must

I know that when lives are on the line, ineffective or obsolete weaponry is often quickly discarded (though I still don't understand why the 9x18mm round is still in service despite being clearly inferior to the 9x19mm parabellum round), and given how strapped-for-cash the Russian military is, they

Which was published in 2005. On page 314, the name used on the tittle is "AS silent sniper rifle" Which is incorrect because the AS is not a sniper rifle. Now this could be a typo or it could also be referring to the VSS which is also mentioned on the same page. I take that the author confused the

Quote taken from WP:COMMONNAME, You're telling me that the official manufacturer's website is not reliable? The website has an English version. Why is that not considered as reliable? "Other encyclopedias" The Russian Wiki uses the Val and Vintorez name separately, aren't these considered as other

The AS Val and VSS Vintorez are essentially the same rifle. The latter having a different 'sniper' style buttstock and comes equipped with a PSO-1. Note that the AS Val can also equip such scope. Now relating to the merge, was this even discussed? How it was done is just atrociously bad. Were all

You're saying other Knowledge languages are inferior? Especially the Russian Wiki where there's more sources regarding these two rifles? A Russian based source is MORE reliable compared to American based sources when it comes to these two rifles since they were made in Russia not in America.

But the English source got it wrong. Those sources that refers to these two rifles as "VSS Vintorez and AS Val" are wrong. The Val is always separated from the 'AS' designation. I can show you an email from Vladimir Onokoy (Author of this article:
