AVT-40 rifle

[bengacris]

Red Orchestra 2 FTW!

[IcyScythe]

I wonder if you could achieve ANY level of accuracy firing this thing on full auto?

[IcyScythe]

avt40 has full auto??

[RiccardoTheBeAst]

Great upload! :)

We'll see this weapon in Red Orchestra 2: Heroes of Stalingrad ;)

[RandyMarshification]

7.62x54 correct?

Very nice rifle!

[MXGuns51]

Also, some evidence suggests that AVTs came with 20 or even 30 round mags - imagine dumping that downrange!

[kt38138]

@MXGuns51 There's no Soviet WWII 20 or 30-rd mag for AVT but modern "reproduction".

[MXGuns51]

Awesome, never seen one fire before. No wonder the Russians only allowed full auto in dire combat emergencies, then totally banned the use of full auto on this rifle. I have 2 SVTs that were refurbed with AVT stocks, and they're more than mean enough for me!

[s955120]

SVT-40 = rare

AVT-40 = very rare

AVS-36 = super rare

I will love to see AVS-36's live firing video,though I wonder if I can see one in my entire life...

[Omsbon]

@s955120 I have two short avs-36 clips and will upload them soon. No full-auto firing there, though.

[mrnizzi]

@s955120 svt 40 isn't rare

[Le457]

@s955120 SVT-40s are not so rare. Stalin was interested by semi automatic rifles. 1 600 000 SVT 40 were made. ( And Apparently, north Korea still use these rifles )

[F4Wildcat]

@Le457 Infact, production of SVT-38 and SVT-40 is over 5 million. This has been confirmed by records of of both Tula as Izhmash

[Le457]

@F4Wildcat Impressive.

[raccoonmatinginyour]

I've heard and seen avt's but I didn't know they were fully automatic :O

[izvarzone]

No wonder why it was not popular in Red Army.

[repzyree]

@izvarzone although i would not like to be the German soldier hearing a 20 rifle shots go of 90 meters down the road in 3 seconds. i would piss my pants.

[13thmistral]

holly...

fuck the M14 wow

[FreestylaBoy]

russias first battle rifle

[Omsbon]

@FreestylaBoy Nope. That was the AVS-36.

[gamerkid1177]

Nice...now try and find and shoot a avs 36!

[Thatevilmidget]

@gamerkid1177 There are very very few AVS36's still in existence, and on the excruciatingly rare occasions when they are sold (almost all of them are in private collections), they tend to cost a few hundred grand. Not to mention the fact that most existing examples aren't in any condition to be fired (they were considered a failed design, so Russia tossed most of them into storage, and many ended up in Finland where they were used until they were obliterated). That said, if you find one...

[FreestylaBoy]

That did backfire!!!

[Calimero1232]

Russinas found out the same thing with AVT which westerns found out later with full-auto FN FAL. Fully automatic rifle with a round that strong is always an ammo waster.

[LucanJacups]

Dear god.

[2muchreality4u]

They definitely didn't have shouldering this in mind when they decided to add the automatic option. It is probably why they dropped the AVT-40 so fast. You know people were trying to shoulder it on automatic and complained that it was too much. It had a ten round magazine, which of course is nowhere near enough for a full auto rifle. It is interesting.

[csmybuttt]

LOL watch the guy fly back.

[todcat3]

I actually didnt think these were real before

[necroticism]

Jesus H christ. Lucky you.

[jealousmucheshays]

damn there were less than 3000 avt's made. whered you pick this bad boy up?

[Simonov5966]

very rare rifle, cherish it. and watch for cracks in the stock! XD

[VIKINGWARLOCK]

that is a very rare gun hold on to it

[Landoforpresident]

It's a SVT-40 with the Full-auto option..just this

[123567890124567890]

@Landoforpresident THAT MAKES IT A AVT 40

The Samozaryadnaya Vintovka Tokareva, Obrazets 1940 goda (Tokarev Self-loading Rifle, Model of 1940, Russian: Самозарядная винтовка Токарева, образец 1940 года)

[aceshigh7]

I've known of this rifle for awhile, but have ever seen one...until now. Nice find.

[PokemonHaloFan]

Is that a 7.62X54mm, considering the recoil and obvious age of the gun.

[SUPERPIDROOO]

this guy looks a "pitina"

[airsoftmama]

And I thought the SVT-40 was pretty rare...Not that it isn't; this is the first time I even heard of this piece!

[FargoMarc]

Nice video, that's a rare weapon!

[KrispieKomrad]

where did you find this rare piece?

[Wadadan]

It's firing rifle bullets, so yeah... lotta recoil :P

[vladimir1944]

Seems to have a lot of recoil :P

[FreemanLambda]

@vladimir1944 7.62mm x 54R, this is the round the AVT-40 uses, to give you an idea, its the same round a heavy machine gun known as the PKM uses. This round does NOT joke around.

[gamecubeclock]

Damn!
