Firearms from Romania

A popular civilian AKM-style rifle known for its rugged design and affordability.

The PSL (Pusca Semiautomata cu Luneta) is a Romanian semi-automatic designated marksman rifle. It is chambered in 7.62x54mmR and externally resembles the Soviet Dragunov SVD. Despite the visual similarity, the PSL is mechanically based on the Kalashnikov action rather than the SVD's short-stroke piston system. It features a heavy barrel, a 10-round magazine, and a side-folding bipod. The PSL is known for being a rugged and cost-effective marksman rifle used by Eastern European forces.
