Italian SVT-40 for Tunisia

Its no surprise that the Germans, Finns, and Italians were big fans of Tokarev Self-Loading rifles since there were so many of them laying around.

German Captured SVT-38 and SVT-40 rifles were used to design the Karabiner 41 (Gewehr 41 (W) and (M) variants) later the Karabiner 41 was redesigned to the Karabiner 43 and renamed to Gewehr 43 in late 1943.

Some Tokarev Self-Loading rifles saw service with the Afrika Korps but were quickly abandoned due to an ammo shortage.

Italians made their own SVT copy in the powerful 8x59mmRb Breda cartridge with around 1000 units produced.

The weapon holds 10 rounds of 8x59mmRb

Up to a thousand units is way more than the 100 or so Armaguerras!
