The KSVL (Крупнокалиберная Снайперская Винтовка Лапин) is a prototype large caliber Anti-Materiel Rifle developed by Kostya Lapin in 1948. The KSVL is originally an early derivative of a design of low recoil large caliber rifles capable of penetrating armor soft spots at a range of 2000 m. With an almost 2 meter long barrel, the rifle uses 20x128 mm Tungsten Rounds and is capable of penetrating 40 mm of armor at the prescribed range. The project was cancelled since the need for Anti-Tank Rifles fell out of favor to Rocket Propelled Grenades.

Several centuries later, the model was remade and enhanced greatly because of the technological advances. It was also created according to the preference of its wielder, purposely made without a scope. The model has since been a favorite target of heavy augmentation by the Russian Mafioso due to its easily trafficked and easy to obtain parts.

The KSVL is a spring action semi automatic weapon. Two springs are located at the front of the receiver and just before the buttstock. The barrel and the bolt assembly are part of a moving slide that is recoiled 2 inches towards the buttstock when firing. The under reciever houses all other parts. The rifle can accomodate a clip containing 5 rounds, rounds are fed into the barrel by recoil. Consequently, the rifle must be manually fed the first round in order to fire semi automatically. The rifle also has a muzzle brake and a leather pad to further attempt to reduce recoil.
