Well, i don't know for sure, but this gun is suppressed IRL, and Surviv is in need of a suppressed weapon. This weapon is also automatic IRL, and combine that with the massive bullet it takes, bigger than an AK-47/AKM round, this thing should do loads of damage. Muzzle velocity isn't everything. The M9's 9x19mm Parabellum rounds do very little damage to the human body as they simply travel through the body too fast. The bullet is also small. The M1911 IRL is much more pwoerful than the M9 due to the fact the the larger bullet travels slower, and instead of going straight in and out of the body, tumbles through making a massive cavity and a much more deadly wound.

The VSS is a pretty good weapon IRL and is used by the Russian Spetznaz. The setback is not the killing ability as it is pretty high, it is rather the range it lacks due to the muzzle velocity and the low velocity itself meaning it is a weapon for the skilled shooters as you have to do a lot more "calculating" I guess in order to hit long range shots
