SVT-40

History
The SVT-40 was created by Fedor Tokarev and soon became one of the Soviet standered rifles. By the time of the German invasion of Russia the SVT-40 was used by the Red Army, but the Russians lost many of the rifles during the war so the SVT-40s were replaced by the Mosin-Nagant also due to the fact that the SVT-40 was difficult to manufacture, and troops with poor training had difficulty maintaining the rifle. The Germans saw use of the semi-automatic rifle and prefered to use it rater than their normal weapons.
