The Silverback VKS Silenced is a spring-powered airsoft sniper rifle in a bullpup configuration, modeled after the Russian VKS Vykhlop sniper rifle.
The replica features a two-stroke Straight-Pull bolt-action mechanism and incorporates design solutions found in the Silverback SRS platform. The Silenced version is equipped with a Full-Size suppressor that screws onto the outer barrel.
External Construction
The replica is constructed from metal and fiberglass-reinforced nylon.
Metal components include:
CNC-machined aluminum internal receiver
Steel receiver top cover
Steel bolt handle
Steel ejection port cover
Fiberglass-reinforced nylon components include:
Handguard
Pistol grip
Stock with a rubber buttpad
A long top RIS / Picatinny rail runs along much of the replica, allowing optical sights to be mounted. The replica does not feature iron sights.
The handguard is equipped with three additional RIS rails, positioned at 3, 6, and 9 o'clock. They allow accessories such as a foregrip, bipod, or laser module to be mounted.
The outer barrel features a threaded muzzle for attaching the dedicated Silverback VKS suppressor or an adapter that allows muzzle devices with 14 mm CCW threads to be used.
The replica also features a steel ejection port cover with configurable operation. The user can choose whether the cover opens during bolt cycling or remains closed.
Bolt-Action Mechanism and Trigger System
The Silverback VKS uses a two-stroke Straight-Pull bolt-action mechanism.
To prepare the replica for firing, the bolt handle must be pulled backward and then pushed forward. This action must be repeated before every subsequent shot.
An adjustable piston sear allows the characteristics of the trigger mechanism to be adjusted.
The design allows quick removal of the bolt assembly after extracting two pins, without the need for specialized tools.
Hop-Up and Internal Components
The replica features an adjustable TDC Hop-Up system, allowing the backspin applied to BBs to be adjusted.
The pneumatic system features a 41 cm³ cylinder and a dampened piston head with an Airbrake system.
The longest Airbrake is factory-installed. Additional Airbrake components allow the piston head configuration to be adjusted according to factors such as BB weight and inner barrel length.
The set also includes three Hop-Up nub variants:
Low Nub – factory-installed
Medium Nub – +250 µm
High Nub – +500 µm
Using nubs of different heights allows the pressure applied to the Hop-Up bucking to be adjusted to the replica's configuration.
Compatibility with the SRS Platform
The Silverback VKS uses selected components compatible with the Silverback SRS standard, making replacement and upgrade parts easier to source.
Components compatible with the SRS standard:
Cylinder
Piston
Spring guide
APS 13 mm main springs
Magazine, BB Feeding System and Suppressor
The replica uses a double-stack Mid-Cap magazine with a capacity of 63 BBs.
The feeding system also includes a feed tube holding an additional 5 BBs, located between the magazine and the Hop-Up chamber.
The Silverback VKS Silenced is equipped with a dedicated Full-Size suppressor, mounted onto the outer barrel threads.
The suppressor body is made from a fiberglass-based composite, inspired by the construction of the original VKS Vykhlop. Its surface has an intentionally rough texture, designed to resemble the appearance of the real firearm.
The internal construction of the suppressor is divided into two sections:
Rear section (1/3 of the length) – provides axial guidance and stabilization for an extended inner barrel up to 571 mm long when using a 20 mm barrel spacer.
Front section (2/3 of the length) – features sound-absorbing foam baffles that reduce noise when firing.
Maintenance
Due to the use of steel structural components, the manufacturer recommends regular cleaning and maintenance of the replica to reduce the risk of corrosion.

Muzzle velocity [FPS] It is the spped of bb, while its leaving the innerbarrel of replica. This speed is measured in FPS (Feet Per Second). 1 FPS = 0,3 m/s 1 J = 99 m/s 1 J = 326,7 FPS | 320 FPS |
| Weight [g] | 4408 |
| Magazine type | mid-cap |
| Magazine capacity [pcs.] | 63 |
| Hop-Up Hop-Up system is used for overclocking bb during the shot (putting it in rotation), through which, it extends its flight path. Acting laws of physics make that bb lift up, while the gravitational force take it down. Appropriate adjustment of Hop-Up, will compensate for these two factors, which result in long and straight flight for longer distance and be greater focus shot (to improve accuracy). | Tak, regulowany |
