The SKS is a long rifle featured in The Last Stand: Dead Zone.

Background[]

The Russian Samozaryadniy Karabin sistemy Simonova (Self-loading Carbine of the Simonov system) is a Soviet-made semi-automatic rifle designed by Sergei Gavrilovich Simonov in 1944. Though the Soviets quickly phased out the SKS in favor of the AK-47, millions of SKS rifles were produced in China and soon sold overseas as curio items in the U.S. up until 1994.

Seen as the "poor man's deer rifle", Chinese copies are the most common find, although ceremonial variants of the Soviet version are still used by the Russian Honor Guard today.
