Biography[]
After a long career in as a soldier in the 12th Don Cossack Regiment and an armorer-artificier, Tokarev eventually turned his entire attention towards weapons design. He worked to convert the Mosin-Nagant bolt-action rifle to a semi-automatic rifle and experimented on various firearms. His most famous weapons were the TT-30 and TT-33 semi-automatic pistols and semi-automatic SVT-38 and SVT-40 rifles, all of which were extensively used by the Red Army during World War II.[1]
Tokarev was also a friend of the Russian Assassin Nikolai Orelov. He customized a Berdan rifle with a suppressor for the Assassin, inspired by the American inventor Hiram Percy Maxim.[2]
