The SVD (СВД; Russian: снайперская винтовка Драгунова, romanized: snayperskaya vintovka Dragunova, lit. 'Dragunov sniper rifle'), GRAU index 6V1, [2] is a semi-automatic designated marksman rifle/sniper rifle [3] chambered in the 7.62×54mmR cartridge, developed in the Soviet Union.
The 7.62×54mmR MR1 version is fed from SVD magazines, has a 530 mm (20.9 in) barrel and is offered with a folding stock similar to the one seen on SVCh rifles. The .308 Winchester MR1 version is offered with two barrel length options, 530 mm (20.9 in) and 410 mm (16.1 in), and features fixed or folding adjustable skeletonized stocks.
It was developed through "burglar" (Breaker) research and development program, along with 7.62 mm SV-98 sniper and 12.7 mm ASVK anti-materiel rifles. The purpose of SVDK is to deal with targets which are too hard for standard 7.62×54mmR sniper rifles like SV-98 or SVD , such as assault troops in heavy body armor or enemy snipers behind cover.

In his 2001 book 'The AK-47', Chris McNab claims it is "feasible" that production of the Chinese Type 56 assault rifle – a license-built AK-47 copy – reached 15-20 million.
