Battlefield 3Edit
| AS Val | |
 "The AS VAL is an integrally suppressed Soviet designed Assault Rifle developed for use in the Spetsnaz. Chambered for a special high performance armor piercing 9x39mm round, the AS VAL includes mounts for using optical, red dot or even night vision scopes. The VAL is designed to be fired only with the suppressor attached, and therefore prevents the rifle from mounting underslung attachments. " | |

Main weapon |
The AS Val was listed on the four page fact sheet released by EA at Gamescom 2011. It has an integrated suppressor.[2]
SingleplayerEdit
The AS Val with a Kobra attached is one of the starting weapons in Comrades along with the AKS-74u. One of the GRU characters, Kiril, also uses this weapon throughout the single player campaign.
MultiplayerEdit
The AS Val is unlocked at Rank 45 as part of the all-kit weapons. It is classified as a PDW even though it is technically a compact assault rifle. The AS Val has very high recoil despite a low first shot multiplier, the high fire rate not helping controllability. The lack of first shot recoil, high long range damage, high fire rate, and very good horizontal recoil characteristics make the AS VAL the most powerful long range PDW. It is competitive with assault rifles due to the very high damage output at range, up close the high fire rate offsets the low damage potentially allowing kill times comparable to average assault rifles and PDWs like the P90.
It's worth noting that as the initial recoil multiplier of the AS Val is an unusual 0.5x, it can be especially advantageous for the AS Val to be fired semi-automatically at longer ranges, as it literally cuts the recoil in half. The weapon's very slow muzzle velocity becomes its ultimate shortcoming at range despite having the highest long range damage of all the PDW's.
Despite being a suppressed assault rifle, the AS Val maintains a high degree of semi-automatic accuracy and a very flat trajectory but since the June 2012 patch, its full automatic accuracy was greatly diminished to remark its use in CQB and medium ranges over long distances and is a good choice for an all-purpose weapon in the PDW section. The AS Val can accept a wide range of optics and the Tactical Flashlight and Laser Sight accessories can be used. A patch later implemented the Extended Mags as an attachment.

TriviaEdit
- The AS VAL has more unlocks than any of the other PDW's in Battlefield 3. While the rest of the PDW's have up to 12 unlocks, the AS Val now (after the 1.04 Patch) has 14 unlocks, due to the Sniper scopes (7x and 6). It also makes the AS VAL the only PDW that is able to equip high magnification scopes.
- Combined with the M145, the AS Val triggers a glitch where, when aimed and then unaimed after, the weapon does not move back to it's hipfire position but stays where it is as if you are in Bipod's ADS until after sprinting, switching weapons, or entering/exiting a vehicle.
- The AS VAL has the least spread of any weapon, tied with the bolt-action sniper rifles, but the recoil on full-auto prevents it from being perfectly accurate with multiple shots in full-auto.
- The AS VAL unlocks the PSO-1 after 10 kills, this is to replicate the fact that it is an assault rifle and which assault rifles in Battlefield 3 unlock the 4x scope after 10 kills.
- This weapon shares its bolt pulling animation with the AK-74M, AKS-74U, SVD, M39 EMR, PP-19, QBU-88, and SKS
- Despite being categorized as a PDW by the game, the AS VAL is arguably the weapon in Battlefield 3 that deviates the most from the norms of it's category. Contrary to other PDW's, the AS VAL has an average hip fire accuracy, unusually high long range damage for it's class, a recoil pattern significantly more vertical than horizontal, and a pinpoint aimed accuracy.
- The AS VAL is the only gun in Battlefield 3 where the first shot recoil is actually lower than the following shots on fully automatic (AN-94's 2-round burst notwithstanding).
