I have to be the first target then. I was nearly believing it to be a standard issue. Other than shooting ranges, it's not like you'd defend your house with a Dragunov at night when some robbers sneak in.
Yeah it's a tad long for that, not to mention overpenetration issues.. still, i know a guy who actually used a Mosin Nagant M91/30 for just that one night (with the bayonet mounted, no less!), the would be burglar made him self scarce in a right hurry
I would imagine this SVD would have similar effects on people, there really is no way of telling that this thing isen't actually an SVD (aside from the serial number, if anyone would care to look that clousely), everything else on it is spot on, even the finish on the steel and wood, though sadly, it is a tad heavier than the real one, which is the only bad thing i can say about it.
