7.62mm Tokarev Semiautomatic Rifle SVT40 |
 | | A more robust version, the SVT40 shown here, was characterized by the removal of the earlier rifle's externally mounted cleaning rod, which was mounted instead, as per convention, beneath the barrel. |
 | | On the SVT40 it was of wrap-around type as opposed to the metal and wood forward guard of the SVT38. |
 | | These Japanese weapons, supplemented substantially by Soviet weapons like the PPSh M-1941 7.62mm submachine gun (burp gun), and semi-automatic rifles like the Tokarev SVT40 shown here, were among the more commonly used weapons by the CCF during the first several months of the war. |
