Quick answer

The Vikhr is a compact select-fire carbine chambered in 9x39mm. It shares ballistic performance with the VSS and SVAL, but unlike those rifles, it does not have an integrated suppressor. In exchange, it is shorter, lighter, and can use a Plastic Bottle Suppressor when needed. Its 30-round magazine gives it better sustained fire than the VSS and SVAL magazine options.
