Mystère la dessus. Pris de Wiki (a vérifier comme tout ce qui en vient) "Despite its relatively brief service career, the SVT was a very prolific weapon in the Eastern Front of World War II, and it had considerable impact on European battle rifle designs during and immediately after the war. Weapons like the SKS, Swedish AG-42 and the German G-43 show obvious influence by the SVT. The FN-FAL and its ancestor FN-49 employ the same locking mechanism and operating principle as the SVT, although as mentioned above, it is unclear whether they were actually influenced by the SVT. As a service weapon, the SVT had its problems, but on the other hand, so did other contemporary semi-automatic rifles. The main downfall of the SVT in combat was not so much these disadvantages, but rather that with immense demand for arms, Soviet factories could produce other, simpler, designs in far greater quantities in the same amount of time it took to produce a SVT rifle." Sinon son designer Fedor Tokarev qui conçu aussi le TT-33 a vecu tres longtemps 1871-1968, pas mal pour l'époque !
