Why are not listed Soviet semi-automatic rifle SVT? Soviet self-loading rifles (AVS-36, SVT-38 SVT-40), did not yield to the American M1 Garand and clearly superior to the later German G.41 (M) and G.41 (W)  | | |

Garand is the rifle that won the war. Besides it was much more beautiful.  | | |

so you are letting people choose between a semi automatic rifle or a bolt action rifle?
bad comparison? Its possible to comparing the Lee Enfield and the Springfield is but if I gave you the choice between a martin henry and a Berthier rifle you would pick the Berthier rifle!
But I would still choose the Lee Enfield ^^
And if I had a choice in all infantry guns of ww2 I would pick the lovely Bren LMG
Accuracy and fire-power in a great combination  | | | |

I'd go with the Lee Enfield and Bren, the Bren especially. Solid, not given to stoppages even when choked in mud and accurate. I have used them in serious business.
Two things Wenge. One you make a sweeping statement that the Garand won the war. then you asked Bartieboy what he did in the war. I take it you speak from experience.
But I think we would be bound to disagree, based on your avatar
