The Kuznyetski word Volkodav translates to Wolfhound in Trade, an accomplished stalker with ancestry in both polite society and the savage wilderness. Likewise this sporter carbine, produced by Yeger Armaments beginning in YE 42, is the weapon of a gentleman chambered in a particularly vicious caliber.

The Volkodav is designed to be a very simple, very economical and very reliable bolt-action rifle with a stubby barrel and a whole lot of stopping power. The second-hand and defaced nature of some components leads to them being guns that are very hard to pinpoint the exact origin of, as such they make great wetwork guns for shady individuals operating in and around Nepleslian territory.

The Volkodav is nothing too noteworthy or unexpected. It makes use of a composite polymer thumbhole-style sporter stock²⁾, available in various colours due to the company sourcing raw materials from multiple suppliers, most commonly seen in a sickly shade of off-green. Barrels and bolts are often sourced from cheap knock-off brands or surplus military rifles that have their serial numbers filed off before being blued, with the rest of the receiver being made from stamped Durandium Alloy with a black coating of diacry-infused paint.

Overall the weapon has a fairly cheap and lightweight feel, though they are sturdy enough to get their intended job done, even if looking a little ugly in the process.

As of YE 43 the most common colour for Volkodav stocks began shifting from the initial sickly green to an arguably more pleasant shade of plum purple, swapping from cheap and recycled plastics to industry-standard polymers from more reliable sources.

This section explains how various parts of the rifle function.

• Firing Mechanism: The Volkodav is available exclusively in a right-handed, bolt-action configuration. The user must cycle the bolt after each shot to clear the chamber and seat the next round.
• Loading: A small, ambidextrous magazine release button sits on either side of the rifle’s magazine well. When one and/or both are depressed they allow magazines to be easily removed and replaced as needed.
• Firing Modes: When the safety is forward, the rifle will not fire, in the rear position the rifle is ready to fire.
• Safety Mechanism: A small, two-position toggle to the right of the bolt’s rear.
• Weapon Sight: A fixed and rather boxy rear sight lines up with a folding, hooded front sight.
• Attachment Hard Points: A rail designed to take a variety of rifle optics is mounted just ahead of the Volkodav’s receiver, with a sling-mount located at the front and rear of the stock.

The single-stack magazines designed for this rifle are made from cheap polymer with aluminium feed-lips, rather crudely designed things with staggered witness holes in the sides, but they get the job done and sit mostly flush with the rifle’s underside while doing so. The magazines appear to be knock-off versions of what the Zen .45 Kendo Special uses.

Variants of this firearm that have been crudely hacksawed down to a shorter length are often found in the hands of criminals, what with it being a rather cheap weapon with a lot of killing potential.

The Yeger Armaments Volkodav Sporter carbine is available in most places guns, hunting and sporting supplies are sold across the sector. They are seen as very cheap and as such make for good throwaway guns for shadier folks, or an affordable yet decent first gun.

A single 5-shot magazine is included alongside the carbine, and the whole thing is usually shipped in a simple cardboard box with some cheap, partial weather-proofing packaging.
