The PSR-90 has a muzzle velocity of 870 m/s with a maximum effective range of 1000 m.[1] The PSR-90 is capable of shooting a 90 mm group at a distance of 300 m (1 MOA).[1] A modified trigger with a pull of 1.6 kg is available optionally.[1]

The sniper rifle is generally operated with a 5.5-22×50 NXS sight but a 6×42 telescopic sight can be used instead.[1] A silencer, a telescopic sight and a carrying sling are all available.[1]
