Fedorov Avtomat
The Fyodorov Avtomat was considered to some being the first assault rifle. It was designed by Colonel Vladimir Grigoryevich Fyodorov. The first Fyodorov's automatic rifle appeared in 1912 but it wasn't put into service. In 1915 Fyodorov redesigned his gun into the full auto weapon using the Japanese 6.5mm cartridge (this cartridge was produced in Russia for Arisaka rifles, purchased in Japan in large numbers). In Summer 1916 Fyodorov auto rifle was put into service under the name "Avtomat" ("automatic"). It was manufactured in small numbers at first on Sestroretsk weapon factory and in 1920-1924 on Kovrov weapon factory. About 3,200 were manufactured until 1924. In 1928 Fyodorov Avtomat was officially removed from service. In 1940, during the Winter War, it was briefly used by Red Army.
