"The opposite of the Pipebomb. The Pipebomb is loud, the AS VAL is silent. The Pipebomb attracts zombies from many ranges, the AS VAL discreetly kills them from a short distance. There's a lot more but who cares, to be honest."

Summary
The AS VAL is a Russian assault rifle, unique due to the fact that unlike other weapons, it is permanently silenced. Good for shredding zombie brains up close without them noticing.

Background Story
The Pipebomb's ability to reel in zombies had survivors thinking. If zombies were attracted to noise, what would happen with quieter weapons?

Of course, the K5 Silencer and the SCAR-H's Silencer existed already, but the two were not effective enough to take out a few zombies in the dark without more noticing. With this, Sinister Arms sought out blueprints for a permanently integrated silencer in a weapon, and discovered the AS VAL. After a production mishap and minor adjustments, the weapon was then released to the public.

Tips

 * The AS VAL removes the red damage indicators that appear on your screen when you are damaged.
 * This is obviously useless against an AI Zombie, but unsuspecting players can be caught off guard without them noticing that their health is draining.
 * The AS VAL is not a sniper. Don't be surprised if you can't hit something from across the map.
 * Basically use it like you would a normal automatic rifle.
 * don't die
