The Russian Dragunov SVD fits a bayonet, for some odd reason, and is
robust enough that you can beat a man to death with the butt end without
knocking the sights out: don't hold the muzzle to swing, though, the long
barrel can bend. It's a sniper rifle for infantry, and you can assault a
position with it if necessary. Of course you lose accuracy compared to a
flat-out precision machine like the L96, but for Russian levels of training
it's plenty good enough.

When you have shot and killed a man, you have defined your attitude towards
him. You have offered a definite answer to a definite problem. For better
or for worse, you have acted decisively.
In fact, the next move is up to him.
