On the other hand, it was often considered unreliable and over-complicated by the Soviet troops (when comparing with old Mosin-Nagant rifles), but it was more to the poor training and maintenance, than to the rifle itself. It was highly regarded by the enemies (Finns and Germans) and it was a very sought-after war trophy, re-issued to both German and Finnish troops. The SVT-40 had a somewhat controversial reputation. Just like u said paul it was complicated for the average russian soldier who received poor training. As a result it was a popular weapon among the troops.

The Tokarev rifle employed a much simpler but more effective gas-operated mechanism, which was duly copied by the Germans into the Gewehr 41(W). On the Eastern Front the Germans captured many Tokarev 7.62mm SVT38s and '40s self-loading rifles. In 1941, Germany invaded the Soviet Union. And even in the factories, the Gewehr 41(W) was hard to mass-produce. Since it was the only self-loading rifle available to the German army, it had to be produced in numbers.
