The possibility of an AVS-36 battle rifle?

[Mungo]

Haven't heard any mention of this firearm on the forums as I was reading, so I created an account to show you guys this.

I'm by no means an expert on firearms used in the Eastern Front, but I stumbled across a similiar weapon to the AVT-40 on the internet, I'll let the experts decide what to think of this.

The AVS-36



It's a 15-round selective fire battle rifle, just like the AVT-40, but I believe it was much more rare, with only 34,500 ever made.

It could possibly even it up against the MkB42(H) users, due to its decent magazine size, but I'm unsure whether it would be a historically accurate weapon to be implemented into the game.

Here's a 2-minute documentary on the AVS-36 (In Russian, so a translation would be excellent!)

So again, I haven't heard any discussion of such weapon (forgive me if there was a thread) and I'll leave it to the rest of the forum to decide what they think of the AVS-36.
