Has anyone gotten any play time with the AVT?

My leveling seems to be screwed up so I was curious if anyone has played with the AVT at all, I'd love to see a vid if possible. Thanks

I just randomly spawned with it, remembered this thread and recorded a little bit of footage before the map changed. Coming up soon, I'll post it here.

AS it seems at the moment you cant unlock weapons just unlock upgrades for those you have already

before the patch the Team Euro server had all the weapons unlocked for some reason so I got to play with it.

Suffice to say it's a bad weapon, it's too difficult to fire in single shot, the recoil is brutal and the magasine capacity means you run out of bullet too fast.

Would pick SVT-40 over AVT-40 any day of the week.

1080p, sorry for the bad framerate, would've lowered the settings if I knew I would be recording :) Also, movie maker added a black frame for some reason...

And yes, it is extremely impractical, runs out of bullets in a heartbeat, but it's extremely fun and rewarding to play with.

Yeah, played with it on the euro-fight server. It was fun to try out, but not terribly useful on long distances. In close combat its great ... until you run out of bullets.

I found one on the ground last week on Fallen Fighters and played around a bit before I got killed.

It was a select fire weapon IRL, (safe/semi/auto) it doesn't seem to be in the game. If this were fixed, (or if I knew how to select it) it would be an excellent weapon. Semi for outdoors, auto for hallways.

It should have slightly less recoil than the SVT40 in semi, because it has a hardwood stock instead of birch. (The birch SVT stocks cracked rapidly under the strain of 7.62x54r @ 900rpm) I only ever fired one once, and it was extremely difficult to handle on Auto. Imagine an M14 that weighs 8.5lb instead of 11.5lb.
