This video was made strictly for fun. Both of these rifles are great and very fun to shoot. What two firearms you would like to see next? What other tests would you like to see in future videos? Thank you for watching.
Charging handle of G43 seems more ergonomics, although SVT-40 strip loading seems smoother. Accuracy were equal in context of a normal solder’s use, although the muzzle compensator really helped SVT-40 with follow up shots.
The rifle could be reloaded in two ways, by changing the magazine or by a clip from a Mosin rifle. For this, the bolt in the rifle remained open when the cartridges ran out.
@@DVXDemetrivs he didn't have the bolt hold open in the g43 and he wasted time pulling the stripper clip out.. you can just let go of the bolt and it'll take it out.
To be fair the 8mm clip he used in this video was exceptionally tight and the 7.62x54r clip was exceptionally slick. I've used quite a few 8mm clips & 54r clips, they do vary but in general the 8mm clips are a lot slicker/load easier than 54r. (Btw I'm referring to actual Russian surplus clips from Izhevsk. The new clips from China are often out of spec & notoriously hard to load with.)
is it just the compensator or does the over gassing of the g43 play a part. it was over gassed in ww2 too so it would still be a fair comparison mind you
How? Didn’t you see the shooter struggled with switching hands during reloading the G43. Also, as an infantry man your support hand is upfront supporting a heavy and long rifle. You do your loads with a strong hand that is the one that operates your rifle’s trigger. Unless you are lefty this charging handle is a miss for overwhelming righties.
@@salembendeck These are more “modern”. They led to the development of modern battle rifles and basically have the core features of a modern battle rifle.
@@thekornwulf Yes that shellac finish on Soviet guns looks great when the rifle is in good condition but your right it's not a very durable finish at all. Dings and scratches are much more noticeable than say a linseed oil based finish. I think they did it maybe because it was easier for them or used less resources than other finishing methods.
I would've expected the loading for the SVT-40 to be harder, using notoriously rough mosin clips. I do still think that it would be the winner, the G43 tends to be a bit more fragile in the long run.
SVT40 can be found for less than $500 in the European market. I have heard that there are some issues regarding imported USSR rifles in the USA hence the prices skyrocket.
Looks like the muzzle device on SVT helps it stay on target. I'd definitely give it a point for that, that's pretty innovative for the time, for a standard issue rifle. G43 seems to be significantly shorter. Which would seem like a pretty big plus, imo. Ultimately it's kind of semantics, though. Both these rifles performed pretty identically. What it comes down to is personal preference of the user. Quite frankly, as an inexperienced shooter, I think I would like the SVT better because the action is actually encased inside the weapon, as opposed to the G43 where you can literally see it flying back at your face at 500mph.

Soviets used to put a muzzle break or compensator on every gun they designed.Examples:svt,ppsh, pps 43.Akm has slant break that works as cheap compensator
There is a clear winner, you're the winner for having them. I wouldn't want to choose between them, I'll just get both. Problem solved. Great video, Ruger Rich
@@RUSTYCHEVYTRUCK both rounds are balistically similar, and niether are really better than another, the only reason 8mm is better is simply because the mauser rifle is a better design.
@@grzegorzbrzeczyszykiewic3338 i preffer the M19/30, Simple and had a good Handling but its my opinion i dont like mauser ones bcs its hard to find its ammo bcs they dont use 8mm anymore, its otan rounds now
I just got a 1941 dated SVT-40. If you had a early war muzzle brake on your SVT then you would of shot it even faster. The late war one you have is not as affective at controlling muzzle flip. The upside of the late war brake is that makes the rifle much quieter. You have to double up your earpro with the early brake and anyone near you should give you a wide birth.
Weak shoulder, train it again, otherwise you will get a bad result- I mean a dead one. We had Mosin and Mauser 98 in the USSR Armee in Germany. On 200 m the're easy to use - just fine to fire off to Infantry from over 600 meters.
haven't gotten to fire the G43 (yet, it's a work in progress) but simply handling it feels a lot better to me than the SVT-40, but who knows I might find the g43 to be "meh" or "ooh" so until then I cannot provide a fair leaning towards one or the other.
@@Collectorfirearms It is still called an SVT 40 but it's the late war model..early svt 40s had the tendency of the magazine accidentally falling off and the wood furniture popping off after firing. later war models have a sturdier build and added a folding mag release so soldiers won't accidentally drop the magazines.
@@rain8767 I think you're getting the svt38 and svt40 mixed up. Watch forgotten weapons to see the difference. Also my svt40 was made in 1941 with the mag release as a lever and is sturdy. And they switched to the svt40 in 1940. I would highly recommend to watch the forgotten weapons video on it.
Ну победитель очевиден, так как gew.43 это просто не очень удачный карабин gew.41(w) с газоотводной системой от свт, коих фрицы затрофеили в начале войны приличное кол-во, и не очень то горели желанием с ними расставаться ))0))0)
are those winchester expanding 8mm mauser? ive had issues with those in my Kar-98k rifles and in the Gewehr-41 and MG-42 my friends and I have shot. Try surplus ammo and the result will improve 9/10 times
Its incredible that the STV 40 came out 4 years BEFORE the G43, and still is better in every way. Kinda unravels the "German technological superiority" thing huh?
@Enclave Patrol if they had the chance to make a good semi automatic rifle without all the crappy restrictions in the g41 then we wouldn’t have ever seen a g43 because the g41 would be 10 times better .
Outstanding comparison of two relatively obscure and (in their day) cutting edge rifles. Since you asked, I'll take the bait. How about comparing and contrasting and shooting the MP-38 vs the MP-40? Does an authentic MP-38 even exist?
Thank you very much for the kind words. I would love to compare the MP-38 and MP-40 against each other but the 38 is very rare. I however do have access to an MP-40 and a Thompson. I might compare both of those in the future. Thank you for watching.

The winner is SVT-40, because there is less recoil due to the long base of the forearm and, accordingly, better weight distribution. Due to the fact that the SVT-40 handguard is longer than the Gewher 43 handguard, the SVT-40's center of gravity is farther than the shooter's hands, towards the muzzle (recoil is simply harder to throw the barrel up and push the shooter with the rifle butt: 1:36 vs 1:50 ). For these two reasons, continuous fire is much easier from the SVT-40, which is important when conducting accurate barrage fire. With all this, the SVT-40 is much more technologically advanced for its time and more reliable and easy to use.
G43 looks nice , but when it comes from being reliable its far from it , even the safety is fragile . While the SVT its russian made no need to talk lol ✊
@@Collectorfirearms that would have been least concern on eastern front . they had no time to field strip . Russian wepons were made to be never even oiled and still work fine .
@@Akcent2222 yeah both of my mosin nagants need to be oiled before I shoot them. But the biggest issue for the svt40 is finding a magazine for it. They are picky about those. My g43 only has issues when you run new ammo shot through it. You can fix that by installing a shooters kit. So they both got pros and cons.
@@Collectorfirearms since you have it , check "dumdum gewehr43" he tested it even with 1944 ammo and it fails , so its the design fault . As for mosins even if you oil the bolts are crude so wont be that smooth anyway
@@Akcent2222 I shoot Egyptian 1950s ammo and it's fine. Sorry mine works better? Idk what you want. If it was so awful then they would not have made it. Especially since it was not a last ditch weapon.

How much is that in football fields?
My friend had both of them, and the SVT-38 & 40 just feel so much lighter, easier to carry and shoulder. The balance is nice on SVTs.

The "Svetka" that means "SVT" is my favourite one.
It's odd how no video game has depicted the svt pulling right like that.

This was a great comparison. The muzzle break on the SVT really made it pull to the right. But it sure didn't hurt the operation of it.
SVT for sure.

Love your videos keep up the good work
SVT40 is a more refined rifle, overall a better design. The G43 was a german copy because troops who captured SVT40s loved them so much.
