The '''AVS-36''' is a Soviet select-fire battle rifle. Designed in 1931, it started in limited production from 1934.

According to the instructions, the fire selector of the AVS was locked with a special key held by the squad leader, who, only if necessary, could allow firing in bursts (whether this function of the rifle was used in practice is a controversial issue).
