Well, I am sure you could still make this gun work with double the recoil.
Comparing the AVT 40-20’s stats against the Fedorov, I don’t really see an advantage to using the Fedorov over the AVT-20.
The Fedorov has almost twice the ROF as the AVT, carries five more rounds in the magazine, is better at medium range (if the rounds actually hit the target), but overall the AVT has a slightly higher hit power, loads faster, better at long range and overall is far more controllable at all ranges.
Is the high rate of fire of the Fedorov really an advantage if 80% of those bullets are flying over the enemies head. ![]()

I don’t care if they change the Fedorov because I am quite happy with the AVT, and since I play more Allies and Germans at BR5, it doesn’t effect me anyway.
Its overall structure is similar to the 6.5mm version, and it is absolutely nonsense for developers to give it 1100 firie rate.
Yeah 1100 RPM is crazy fast empty…
Even if the gun was a laser beam, that RPM doesn’t help at all.
I mean a 25 round mag SFR is nice and all, but even FG42 is fast empty which is why more people like FG42 II.
Also its an event gun, so there is really no shame in having it a bit stronger than it is right now.
Again. Why aren’t all select fires like this. They should all have so much recoil ppl shoot them semi auto as default.
It’s the same reason I like the Browning 1919 A6 better then the M2 Stinger. It shoots slower, but is far more controllable in prolonged sustained fire then the Stinger.
I also use the M2 Carbine more often then the T-20. It doesn’t shoot as fast or hit as hard, but can carry over twice the ammo, which I find a more valuable asset for myself.
Why do you want it? To try and push rifleman out of meta?
No thanks… don’t touch my engineer.
Yes. The best rifle shouldn’t be the one available to all classes. It ruins both br 5 and 4
To each their own… i wouldn’t have it any different from constant full auto spam getting blown up every other monute.
As usual, RoF changes require sources, otherwise it will be closed
Well, 1100 rof taken from nowhere as well
Thus the automatic carbine was a universal individual weapon. Having a weight almost identical to that of a rifle, it could conduct the most varied fire: a) single-shot, when loading from a clip up to 20–25 shots per minute — as a self-loading rifle; continuous — when loading from a clip up to 35–40 shots per minute — as an automatic rifle; b) single-shot when loading with inserted 25-round magazines up to 50 shots per minute; continuous when loading with the same magazines up to 100 shots in the same period of time. It was assumed that the best marksmen, possessing good endurance, calmness, and discipline, could be given a more advanced weapon, i.e., the automatic carbine, as a good shooter would not waste his cartridges and would not be left without them at a critical moment. Experiments with my automatic carbine showed that it was possible to fire from it in continuous bursts of 3–4 cartridges in a row up to 300 shots, but further, due to the thinness and strong heating of the barrel, jams began to occur, mainly due to unsatisfactory extraction of the cartridges. It was necessary to remember that the normal, most frequently used type of fire from the automatic carbine under ordinary conditions was single-shot fire; such fire, thanks to the metal forearm, could be conducted for a longer time at a rate of 25 shots per minute — while with a 7.62 mm rifle after 100 shots the glass…

Well, its not a real issued gun, so its difficult to come by any Source.
That being said, I have never seen or heard of any gun chambered in 7.62x54R that has 1000+ RPM.
Why not lower it to 900? I bet it actually still fired slower than that in reality, but at least 900 is somewhat controllable.
Is there a gun Jesus video about that gun? Typically very rapid fire guns have a light weight bolt for example, by comparing the insides of the gun with a AVT it should be possible to make estimations.
What is it? I bring a book written by Fedorov himslef. He told there twice - rof is 100 shots per minute with a reload. 100 shots
Thats effective rate of fire - as in how fast one can aim, shoot and reacqui the target and do follow-up shots.
No automatic gun ever had 100 RPM.
Fedorov write twice - 100 shots per minute - is a maximum rate of fire, sir. We can count off maybe a reload time and a speed of aim but it still around 100-200 rof.
In other book Fedorov written some more -

So the real Fedorov automatic rifle is 600! Because according to Fedorov automat have the same 100 rounds per minute of practical fire.
Yeah I would have guessed as much, most full power rifle round battlerifles, semis and DMRs that can shoot full auto sit in around 500 - 700 RPM.
FG42 seems to be the only exception that I can think of, but FG is technically more a MG than a classical rifle.
