The **AVS-36** is a Russian Select-Fire Rifle part of the Moscow Allies and Berlin Allies' arsenals. It was the first automatic rifle adopted by the USSR. Once in service, it quickly became apparent that the AVS was not a satisfactory design; the operating mechanism was overcomplicated, and the problem was made worse by the rifle's construction which let dirt get inside the weapon. The muzzle brake design proved to be quite successful, as the rifle had very little overall climb, however, the intense recoil impulse still meant the rifle was impractical in automatic fire. The production of the AVS-36 was terminated in 1940 and a new design competition was held to which Simonov and Tokarev submitted their improved designs.

## Overview

The **AVS-36** is a good weapon at any category and at any range. It eliminates enemies easily and is slightly limited by the 15 round magazine. Unlike the AVT 40, the fast reload and the lack of an Axis select-fire rifle on Moscow makes the weapon a powerhouse in that campaign, and it still holds it's own in Berlin, despite facing FG 42's

It only has 1 reserve magazine, which is very problematic as it shreds through ammo as a fully-automatic, the use of ammo pouches (preferably large ones) is very recommended. Users also have to keep in mind it isn't fully-automatic by default, but it's still great regardless for both bot and player usage.
The use of semi-automatic is also perfectly fine, as it hasn't been affected by the semi-automatic nerf, just like all other select fire rifles.

### **Pros**

* Low shot dispersion allowing you to hit enemies accurately at long ranges.
* Acceptable vertical recoil.
* Perfect for close quarters.
* Fast tactical reload.

### Cons

* Only 1 reserve mag, large ammo pouches are mandatory, bots are not affected by reserve ammo. no need to worry about them only having 15 bullets to use.
* 15 round magazine.
* Not set on automatic by default. Bots will need to be their weapons set manually, otherwise they may not use it to the fullest potential.
* Noticeable horizontal recoil.

## Statistics

The **Sniper AVS-36** is a Russian Select-Fire Rifle part of the Moscow Allies' arsenal. A sniper version of the **AVS-36** was produced in small amounts with a PE 4x variable-power optical scope in an offset side-mounted bracket on the left side.

## Overview

The **Sniper AVS-36** is a AVS-36 mounted with a 4x that can be removed from it.
It has the same statistics as it's rifleman version, with one more magazine in reserve, the scope makes the recoil even more controllable, which is a nice added bonus, although sniper bots are noticeably less effective than rifleman bots, even as a fully-automatic, which makes the **Sniper AVS-36** a player only weapon.
It is perfectly capable of downing targets more than 200 meters away with ease, making it an effective and deadly weapon in the hands of the right soldier.

### **Pros**

* Low shot dispersion allowing you to hit enemies accurately at long ranges.
* Fast tactical reload.
* Unlike the infantry version, it has one additional magazine in reserve.

### Cons

* 15 round magazine.
* Not set on automatic by default.
* Sniper bots will perform way worse than rifleman bots, making this a player only weapon.
