This video from Forgotten Weapons debunks the common misconception that the Romanian PSL is a Dragunov. It explains that due to Romania's political stance in 1968, they were unable to obtain Soviet SVD technology. Instead, Romania developed its own designated marksman rifle, the PSL, by scaling up the AK design to utilize the 7.62x54R cartridge. The video highlights the PSL's features, including its semi-automatic-only fire, 10-round magazines, automatic hold-open mechanism, and its fitted LSO-2 telescopic sight. It also notes the PSL's widespread availability on the international market after the fall of the Warsaw Pact.
