Almost all the major powers had developed or were in the process of developing semi-auto rifles between the World Wars however only the US went ahead and actually made their semi-auto rifle their standard issue (M1 Garand).

What if the Russians went ahead with their SVT-40's, the Germans with the Gewehr 43, British with a Howell Automatic Rifle etc.?

Small arms were not the decision makers in WW2 but I'm still curious on the impact.
