The '''AVS-36''' is a Soviet select-fire battle rifle. Designed in 1931, it started in limited production from 1934. In 1936, it was put into service, with the accompanying introduction of some changes, and entering into large-serial production. It became the first automatic rifle, that entered service with the Red Army after the [[Fedorov Avtomat]].
Like Fedorov weapon, the main fire mode of the AVS was single-shot. It was supposed to fire in short bursts with an insufficient number of LMGs, and continuous fire - only as a last resort. At the same time, it was forbidden to spend more than 4 magazines in a row, so as not to overheat and not wear out the barrel and other parts. 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).
After the Winter War, following a discussion of the issue with military experts, it was decided to stop the production of the AVS-36, replacing it in production with the [[SVT-40]] self-loading rifle.
