@NWguy83 But Japan never even get to defeat China totally in WWII. In fact their ground forces were pinned down in China while the few that could be spared for the Pacific got totally beat by USA. Forcing the Japanese Navy to fight as infantry
-
not to troll but China's soldiers still would have been rolled over by the Japanese with or without that rifle.

I wanna see it shoot!
-
i highly doubt it would have made a big difference on the outcome of the war

What if China had adopted 20 variant of the Remington Model 8 sporting rifle in 1912? Or if Poland had done likewise in 1922? World War II in both theaters might have never happened.

It's an svt-40 type rifle.

What I wouldn't give to work in that museum and be surrounded by the breathtaking history of the firearm from its earliest inception to its most spectacular expressions during the Second World War and all the way to the present... it would be downright inspirational...
-
@bloodyblade24 Yes but the Russians were also caught off guard and many SVT-40 rifles were captured by the Germans. They had trouble supplying guns to their troops in months/years after and were more interested in making sub-machine guns and simpler mosin nagants as fast as possible.

That is beyond sick!

@esh325 Most likely it is chambered for 8mm Mauser.
Wow, imagine if that rifle had made it back. China may have been able to hold off Japan earlier in the war, Pearl harbour may not have happened and America's involvment in WW2 minimized. Could have been a much much different war
