You mean the historical weapon that functioned so poorly it was reverted to semi auto in less then a year.

What nonsense? The SVT 38 was adopted in 1938, then in 1940 the AVT 40 and SVT 40 were adopted simultaneously. Who redesigned what? The SVT 40 design itself was developed for about 20 years and can easily be called one of the best (if not the best) automatic rifles, which was later copied in Sweden, Switzerland and Italy.

On the one hand, it’s possible, but I just want it to stay in the assault rifle. It’s not logically justified, it’s just my whim. Perhaps the only reason why it’s in the assault rifles is because that’s literally what it’s called. And we are talking about the AVT, not the Fedorov assault rifle.

I think he is talking about AVT since AVT really was very bad in full auto.
The problem is that this applies to any fully automatic rifle. For example, for this reason, Germany stopped developing the fully automatic G 43, so this is a very strange remark. It was not without reason that the intermediate cartridge was invented.

G43 people love to praise German guns but G 43 was very bad gun that sometimes exploded literally a lot of gun collectors don’t like it while SVT was reliable like the Grand.

I did mean the fully automatic version of the G43.
But the regular rifle really wasn’t great either and it seems to me it was very late for the war, which is largely the fault of the German leadership, which rejected normal gas-operated automatics for a long time.

Well from all the standard German weapons G 43 really is not something that had the same ratability like other German weapons.

Really that many AVTs ? for the SVT-40 the statistic is staggering compared to G-43 i mean when it comes to small arms really Germany could not compete Soviet Union had semi auto and smgs on a level that Germany had no chance to compete I never imagined they had so many AVTs… i thought its some small number.

The avt40 is a nearly identical variant of the svt40
The only difference from the early svt40 and AVT40 is the time AVT4O pis select fire
The SVT Fire was Soo poorly made it reverted to semi auto
yet the more complex AVT40!worked
Trust me bro USSR source only
So any picture of a gun could be a semi auto SVT40 or AVT40
do you at least have field pictures with the 25 round clip

I think I literally wrote above that shooting in fully automatic mode is not effective for any rifle, so I don’t understand why you are trying to prove my words to me.
And the photo of the AVT 40 with a high-capacity magazine was taken in the museum with the participation of the author of the book himself, and he can distinguish the AVT from the SVT.
