I think that you can find it here on KZfaq but I can't remember for certain.

childhood trauma flashbacks

Great, Sad film. Mosfilm have the full version on KZfaq for anyone that needs(wants) to see

War is.... le bad?

That's a harsh flick , but , a must for it's realism

As the svt 40 and gewher 43 use clips because mags on a semiautomatic rifle become rare during ww2

No wonder that gun is so damn gassy.

@@madeofgrease9220too much taco bell?

…how long ago was this when Crappy Tire wasn’t crappy?!

@@veeli1106 2015 to about 2019. They were 200 bucks. 😢

@@DirtyDiksgunoroma …then it certainly wasn’t in any franchise in the Vancouver area!

a Garand nowadays is robust and easy to find replacement parts. an svt, not so much on either front.

Over 1 million SVT40s were made, they did make their way around the battlefield. However, it was found out that the SVT40 was too expensive to replace the Mosin and the amount of time it took to train a soldier to get good with it wasn’t worth it given the average life expectancy on the battlefield. It was significantly easier and cheaper to give guys submachine guns and resume Mosin production.

@@edm240b9 They also had a better rifle, the SKS, available after the war and later the AK-47.

@@edm240b9 Captured ones seem to have been prized, especially by Germans and Finns. Which says something for the model. Soviets liked weapons that were sturdy and did not need too much maintenance, and the SVT-38 and 40 did need to be looked after, which was a definite drawback. I read that they were often issued to NCOs in the Red Army as they were more likely than privates to clean the rifle regularly and not subject it to too much rough handling. Certainly in photos or film, Soviet soldiers equipped with it often have NCO rank badges.

more than likely a mistranslation as the russian phrase closest to "Buried" or "abandoned under" is often misattributed to "old" or "worn out" in English because it has contextual language around it that cant be translated

@@therideneverends1697 That explains what.

@@buwanbuwaya6927 It explains the why behind the original commenters observation, read it again until you understand i believe in you

​@@therideneverends1697 What, ahahaah, dude I was abbreviating "That explains what (they meant in translation)", I also watched Come & See and at the beginning I was also confused why there's an SVT buried in the sand and you explained it all to me why there's mistranslations in the russian film Also, shit mannn that film is dark as hell

I wonder if the film-makers had him using that gun for cinematic reasons mainly, as watching someone cycle a bolt over and over is perhaps a little tedious to watch. A partisan who had an SVT-40 would probably count himself as lucky.

Reminds me of Texhnolyze and Now and Then, Here and There, your words.

I remember a random KZfaq commenter calling Come And See "the best film that I never want to see again." I wouldn't go quite that far, but ...

That movie is great. It doesn’t hold back at all, shows everything as it was. The kid digs up an SVT-40 at the beginning of the movie I think.

@@DavidCowie2022 Id go close to that far tbh, i mean i will watch it again because i intend to show it to others, but i have no intent on watching it again on my own

it is a very realistic and brutal/honest depiction of war. It must be said, however, the film portrayed the notorious Dirlewanger Brigade - not every German unit acted like that in the field

Best semi auto rifle in the game imo. There's just something nice about it in game.

@@alixon5009 but when I play axis I still fear it from experience players using it

@@Unknown_cursed25 That's how the Soviets felt when the Finn's captured some. SISU!!

@@alixon5009 idk man the mondragon is pretty good

@@scarletcrusader5431 Alright then. Best semi auto I've used. Sorry but I'm not gonna spend a gold order on Mondragons.

Its also the easiest way to get PTSD from looking at a movie screen. I have a fairly resilliant constitution but i have to watch the film in 2 parts

Thanks man! My info is kind of scratching the surface stuff compared to many experts out there really. But I do try to make my presentation engaging/unique as I can.

Really also good there and who knows what other but anyway recommended some others and also could look into parts like AK-47 or RPG-7 even do one on this vehicle the BMP-1 and anti-aircraft missiles like SAMs and MANIPADs such as SA-7 and Stinger also may want to do a future one on the B-52 bomber is cool anyway check that out since there's a lot out there.

@@kellychuang8373 I was thinking the same and I am just waiting for those.

@@seanchristopher91 That's good and other parts may want to look into tanks like aside from M1 Abrams also look up the T-54/55 as well and really check those I already said out the old footage of those anti-aircraft missiles are really something among many others since it's really dangerous outside and these days info can be fast.

Not yet. Such a big project. But eventually =)

Beans with maple syrup.

​@@JohnnyJohnsonEsqsounds good ngl.

Y’all eat your beans with or without the can

I was guessing that the blank cartridges were likely too weak to cycle the action.

​@@JohnnyJohnsonEsqThat might be, it's truly weird

The blank cartridges what film company used weren't powerfull enought to cycle the action (They used same type off ammunition that are used in military funerals etc)

I recall hearing somewhere that some soldiers really just didn't know that the rifles were capable of semi-automatic fire and would use them like bolt-action rifles because that's what they were used to. I think it's a plausible scenario if a captured rifle wasn't set up correctly to cycle automatically with the ammo the Finns used. Of course, that would also be convenient for the filming with blanks, but I would think it's more likely an intentional detail based on true stories rather than just a random SVT they have to cycle manually because of the blanks. Like why not just give the guy a Mosin-Nagant instead, if all there is to it is just a technical problem with the blanks?

I read on Wikipedia that the most prominent use of the gun was by its own designer to shoot down a German plane during the invasion of Poland, while he was evacuating by train

They killed a real cow

@@GannicusMisteriosdeHonduras Ok I have to admit I didn’t understand whatever joke or anecdote your adding though I’m curious???

@@danielcurtis1434 in a Soviet movie called Come and See when the boy is walking with the other soldier and the cow the soldier is cut down by machine gun fire, then the cow gets hit by a bunch of rounds/tracers , what you see there is 100% real they told the boy to take cover and the Machine gun post on the hill opened fire on the cow , killing the cow unfortunately , the boy carries an SVT-40 throughout the movie, you should check it out, its on KZfaq, I made a mistake and responded to your comment instead of the other comment that mentioned the movie

@@GannicusMisteriosdeHonduras thanks for that I’ll check it out. FYI I’ve made way way bigger mistakes than that!!!

Huhh ? 😄

wouldnt surprise me, the G41's were terrible but also lots of the g43's produced, both under the name g43 and k43 got sabotaged and due to the slave labor used to make them many were made of really poor metal quality, its one of the reasons a good shoot-able one is so hard to find these days, the guns had no way to regulate gas pressure for operating the gun, meaning the full power of 8mm typically cycled right back into the action pretty violently. Hell even with the right modifications today they tend to beat themselves to death regardless.

Soviet snipers would wrap their rifles and scopes in burlap for camouflage.

@@dancortes3062 thank you my friend

Polymer gun pieces weren't really a thing back then and wood is lighter and cheaper than metal. Just a guess. Also the wood doesn't transfer heat as well as metal so your less likely to burn yourself. I've grabbed a hot barrel once, just once and I won't be doing it again lmfao

I remember learning the hard way how hot an SKS barrel can get

Nahh the US weapons in some regards were better than what the Soviet had

M1 garand is better lmfao

the Germans only copied the gas system and the Soviets phased out the svt pretty much instantly after the war but kept the mosin for designated sniper and marksman related roles. Even general Soviet infantry regarded the SVT as unpleasant and "unwieldy" due to its weight and length. Soldiers had to keep track of the mags they had for their submachine guns, rifles (svt) and their pistols since most mags didn't work well in other weapons, even when it was the same gun with them all having pretty to extremely poor interchangeability . Compared to US weapons what the Soviets had was crap, little to no better than other extremely cheap guns like the British Sten.

Hearted for sure.

I'm not quite sure if the Soviets would have made new (and successful, as in being mass produced) weapon designs if the Germans wouldn't have invaded them in 1941 when the Soviets and even Stalin himself didn't thought the Germans would invade them due the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact🤔 But because it's probably a what-if, Stalin would have ordered his army to invade Germany in 1943 then, no doubt - we all know that people prioritize their ideologies over anything else

@@Better_Clean_Than_Green at the time they were in the processes of expanding and upgrading their arsenal

Well, the Soviets would have as many SVT-40s as the Americans Garand. A-43 instead of T-34. ZIS-150 and GAZ-51 instead of ZIS-5 and GAZ-AA. A huge number of heavy aircraft like PE-8. In 1942, the third five-year plan ended, which would mean the completion of the industrialization of the USSR. And so on. In short, the Germans would have faced a more modern Soviet Army, which would have had better supplies due to the end of the third five-year plan. So this is one of the reasons why Germany attacked in 1941, they did not want to wait for the end of the rearmament of the Red Army.

​@@user-pf3kv4bv5sI wonder if in that timeline, the pps submachine would be developed, since it was an expedient war time design made during the battle of Leningrad, and the Soviet Union might not feel a need to replace the ppsh 41 in this case
