give us an exclusive gun? the SVT-40

all other versions have a unique weapon just for them, why not us?

since theres tommy guns and winchesters, why not add the SVT-40 semi-automatic rifle?

The SVT-40 was mass manufactred during the second world war, and was one of the first semi-automatic rifles to be designed for millitary use, and an estimated 70,000 SVT-40s were produced in 1940 alone.

Currently the SVT is fairly widely available for collectors and historical enthusiasts, and is highly sought. The rifle's popularity is due to a combination of the inexpensive nature of its 7.62x54mmR ammunition, favorable aesthetics, historical significance, and pleasant shooting characteristics.

The main reason for the gradual downfall of SVT usage in combat was not its technical disadvantages; rather, the reason was that, with the immense, continual demand for rifles in the front lines, Soviet factories could produce other, simpler, designs in far greater quantities in the same length of time it took to produce the SVT.
