This was the gun I was issued when I did my Swedish military service way back. It was fun to shoot and very easy to maintain. Supersimple and very reliable. Never jammed .. clean and light. Nice to see it used. Thanks for the video.
Loaded with 9mm B it packs a punch!
@@marcus5248 My father shot in the national championship with this for a few years! When it was time for his conscription, he brought his own with a welded barrel for accuracy, and only used his issued one for inspections, where his officers kept wondering how he kept his gun looking like it was almost never fired.
Just have a question....is this weapon is still used?!
No, it was discontinued in 2007. The Swedish Home Guard were the last ones to use it. Any remaining ones are used for field target competitions by private owners.
Excellent gun, especially when used with the m/39B ammo.
I served in the Swedish Navy and had this as my service weapon, even though we would later use the AK-4. The Kpst m/45 will only jam under 1 condition, using the cartridge collector attachment. I swear to god I had mine Jam 7 times because a cartridge would find its way back into the chamber.
I'm getting all nostalgic. We had these in the Danish navy when I was in back in the early nineties. so simple and so good, one exercise was to assemble it under water and come up blasting... first to shoot got a days leave, last had to dive for casings.
I used one in militær praktik in 2000, it was a fun gun to use (we actually got to use them with blanks).

Dive for casings? That had to suck!

I used this during my military service in the Swedish army back in the days. Got a marksmanship 🏅 Still remember how one of my friends missed to check for the last bullet in the barrel before we got onto the truck to go back to the barracks after a shooting exercise. When the truck hit a bump, he fired a live round through the canvas ceiling sitting right next to the lieutenant. Not good! He did not go home that weekend.. But no one got hurt😎
But... it fires from an open bolt? There would never be any bullet in the barrel in a firing position.
@@yoriisoet Sounds very much like he forgot he had a loaded magazine in and didn't engage the transport safety.
@@Atzy In that case, he must have changed mags in a way that's not in accordance with SOP.
If you are following the SOP, you should never have a loaded mag while the bolt is in the forward position (unless you had a misfire). With or without engaging the transport safety.
@@yoriisoet ... or must have closed it before removing the magazine, thus pushing a cartridge into the chamber without firing it. This is also why you should not transport it with a loaded magazine and bolt closed - a harder bump could be sufficient to move the rather heavy bolt far enough back to catch a cartridge, close again and fire it. There have been fatal accidents happening that way.
Men du hade väl ak5!
The Swedish K is an incredible robust subgun. I remember practicing single shots out to 300 M with it. The mags, being all steel are practically indestructible. Thanks for a good video!
My favourite weapon when I was in the Irish Army Reserve. It was used extensively by the Swedish & Irish Army in the Congo from 1960 - 1964. Brilliant trigger and an indestructible magazine.
Swedish army found it's stopping power lacking in the Congo and developed a new cartridge that remedied that.
Did the Irish use a bajonett with them? I know the Swedes used a ridiculous long bajonett with the K-pist during the Congo mission.
@@Plastpackad yes, the Irish armours came up with a attachment (as they do) that accepted a Lee Enfield No 4 Mk 2 baynot. There are some photos on websites and Facebook pages dedicated to the Congo Crisis. The Irish found the same problem with the 9mm ammo - lack of stopping power as most of the native warriors were high on local drugs when they attacked. When I joined in 1981 the baynot attachement had been removed.

I was gonna make a mention of this, as while its famous for being used in Nam by MACV-SOG, the Swedish K's slightly less famous but equally impressive deployment was at the battle of Jodatville in the southern Congo during the peacekeeping mission there. I just learned about it recently and its very shameful that those men who fought there weren't recognized until many of them had passed.
Do they sell these at ikea?
Yes, but you have to assemble it yourself :/ A bummer when they forgot to pack a screw
@@kratzzjapp17 Or the trigger
President Washington, you are very funny sir... lololol hehehe
it comes for free with a björhenhagen
Yeah, and you have to build it yourself
50 years old Swedish guy here, this brings back memories from my army service.
I did my service in the signal corps, we were probably the last ones use this gun in the Swedish armed forces, since if we had to engage in combat the situation had to be pretty bad.
Although not officially ok with the army rules , you could get a really accurate sub machine gun if you welded the barrel to the frame.
I think I'm going to have peasoup with pork for supper today to make today my nostalgia complete, but I'll skip all the freezing, lack of sleep and the foot blisters.
Gör lumpen nu. Fick fan ingen jävla ärtsoppa med fläsk i torsdags. Skandal.
We had these in the swedish navy in the 2000s. I still remember my weapon number 66610:)
Which regiment were you? I was at I14 (also signals "Brigadstaben") , same gun... I also notice we have the same age!

@@magnusinfrance we had our first "gröntjänst" up at your place. Felt like Nowhere until we realised there was a Preem 500 meters away. 😂
One of my fav scenes in the movie 'RED' was John Malkovich's character coming upon Bruce WIllis's character's weapons cache and finding one of these and reverently saying "Swedish K!!!"
Great movie! I thought of that very scene when I seen the weapon. ✌
The SMG, IMFdb.org is mentioned in Steven Hunters Bob Swagger novel I Sniper.

Have you seen War of the worlds with Tom Cruise? In the cinema version I am 100% they shout bring out the Gustav.
But in bluray release the shout bring out the rocket launcher.
I want the Gustav.
@Henric Carlsson in War of the Worlds they use a Carl Gustaf recoilless rifle(Granatgevär m/48 Carl Gustaf) and two javelins on one of the tripods.

Had this one as a Leopard 1 tank driver in the Danish Army, just loved it.
Hi tech meets low tech...
I didn't know this SMG was used by the Danish armed forces.
@@Leaffordes It has been phased out several years ago:-)
Excellent vid on the Swedish K. Great videography, quick history without a lot of superfluous jabber, and stupendous slo mo! Love it!
I remember seeing this gun in a gun catalog years ago and being totally enamored with it, happy to see you covering it!
Really good video. I like how you tweaked the shooting part of the video. It is much better now with a view of targets getting hit, as well as different angles. Keep it up, Larry
Swedish K sounds like a Scandinavian breakfast cereal.
Edit:
Sorry. I forgot to add the "ba dum dum tish" at the end. I'll leave now.

Not good for your body.
Fiber dump!
it sounds like what wooks try to buy when they go to sweden
Sounds like Swedish gay but hard.
Man, the photography y'all got is getting better and better. The lone rotating shell that was going nowhere in a great hurry really sold it to me.
Really enjoyed the shots showing the effect on target from behind the shoulder! They give much more of an idea of the accuracy of full-auto fire on at close range (Larry controls pretty much any weapon system very well so it can be difficult to tell if a weapon is difficult to keep on target in full auto)
Glenn Holcomb From the video it even seems to be a constant recoil system. The bolt compresses the return spring travelling rearward but doesn’t seem to be hitting the back of the receiver
I owned a S&W 76 the bolt slamming forward more of an issue than recoil and proper technique solved that easily. The MP5 is a delight after the S&W.
The M45 is really easy to shoot. You don't have to be a pro to get good results.
@@Jack72607 and you are right.
It is very easy to use.
Actually, the sound of this brought back some memories from my childhood. Just outside my town, the army had a regiment where they usually where out on the fields shooting with this gun. I never saw this gun up close, but could often hear the shooting from a distance.
Yes Yes Yes!! Was asking for this gun to be on this show for several years!
Best day in a long time!
The slow-motion effect is just incredible footage. Rock on L.Vickers 😎

Notice the newly inflictes shot wound to his arm.
There's a story from the incident that sais a soldier told Major Bonde, Sir you've been shot.
Major Bonde looked down at the blood and said, it can't be mine, I'm blue blooded.
(Bonde is family of noble heritage)
This Bonde family has a long history of being war heroes. Back in 1705 there was a Swedish officer named Claes Bonde who supposingly charged 500 enemies with only 20 men of his own, at a river near Warsaw - Poland. He, together with all of his men died during this attack, but it gave the Swedish army nearby enough time to prepare and ultimately win the following battle at Warsaw 1705.
This gun was still used by gangway guards in the Swedish Navy when I did my conscript service in 2001. Unlike how it's being used in this video we were taught to never hold it by the mag. Really like the slo-mo shots!
American style :) No u don´t handle this baby like that ,, my servicegun -83
Love this format over the previous format. Good job!
A beautiful piece of work. Thanks a lot for this brilliant presentation, top shelf stuff as always. Big cheers from Poland!
Had one of these when I did my military service in 1979. They were still used for personal defense by officers and various other personnel not in the front line. We used a hotter 9mm round with a harder jacket than the normal pistol round. Could be effective up to 100 meters with some practice. Small and not too heavy, and basically consists of eight pieces when you take it apart. Much easier to carry than the AK 4 (H&K G3) some had to lug around. :)
I would say 100 meters with a less trained gunner. 200 meter is mostly a piece of cake for a well trained gunner.
In Sweden we call these "K-pist" which is short for "kulsprutepistol". The english translation would be "machinegunpistol".
The m/45B was the most common one used in Sweden. Swedish police used the m/45BE which was modified to allow single shot mode.
Marcus Robertsson or the direct translation should be ”bullet sprayer pistol”
@@petternorman6192 LOL Kul!
@Star Lord Well my grandfather won marksmanship medals with the 45b and served with it in Katanga Province, including the attack on the provincial capital. Saying it's bad as if that's the one, single truth is misleading.
Used it during my military service - No problems hitting a man sized target at 150m. Although you had to aim a little high to hit at that distance. Later firing at the same target with the assault rifle was really easy though, just point and shoot... ;)
@Star Lord
You expect accuracy from a submachinegun, LOL you may have served in the army but that does not exactly give you high IQ, I have not served in the army but even I realise that a SMG effective range is at best 100 to 150 metre even if its rated at 200 or even 300 for some but even at 150 you really need a long barrel on a SMG to hit effectively something VERY few do have, not even the MP5 is all that accurate beyond these ranges.
Lets be more real here okay? To begin with combat range is still within 200 metre and in real combat situations you never really shoot that accurate specially when you got fucking mortar shells landing around you and enemies shooting at you with light machineguns.
Its called combat stress its a serious issue hence why all the projects to create guns that fired two rounds in rapid succession or three round bursts came to be in the 70s and 80s.
Its also why majority of casualties in most wars since Boer war have been from artillery and sickness.
Nice! Love vids on old smgs. They never get old.
Larry! I’ve been bitching about your audio guy for months now! This video was fantastic! Audio wasn’t that cheezy loop. Felt really immersive, well done sir.
Something beautiful about open bolts, it's like it just kisses the rear of the cartridge good night before bouncing back off.
It's called: ''Get some!!!!!!''
That's killer
Just like I do with my wife👹
Prone to crap getting into the gun and it sacrifices accuracy.It did the job though.
@@allywilkeforsenate not necessarily, if your receiver has some excess space behind the bolt for the rear spring to function and optimal grooves then the rubbish that tends to muck up and jam the firearm will be pushed to the back. You can observe this system in the Owen gun, which was loved by Aussies used within the pacific jungles
Just Loves it, had it as a my service gun for a couple of years.
And this really A-model isn't often you see. Biggest risk is that the end-cap get loose you get the bolt and spring in the face.
That is way the B came to be.
B model has a hook on top side of the end cap(for those that haven’t seen a B)
I had the "A model" when I was in the Army 1986-87, and never had an issue with it. Reliable, quite accurate at 50 meters and very good at 100 meters. I really miss it.
@@bjornh4664 Yes, i remember one training session at the shooting field and between the target shootings at 100 meter we took a short break, one in the group placed his "k-pist" at the snow chains at our Massey Fergusson tractor, while the driver started the tractor and drive over the "k-pist" with full power, the friend was shocked when he saw the result, i told him let us take it apart and change the pipe, so we did, we tested it directly after assembling and hit the 100 meter targets perfectly :) hahaha that was a quality gun made for the job !!!
I actually witnessed a guy getting the spring and bolt in his face once. The end cap hook had broken off. Not sure which version he had.
@@Christian-rj2yc If it had the hook, it was the 45B; the 45 didn't have it. It was exactly that kind of thing the hook was supposed to prevent, but then, it sounds very much like a freak accident.
Your camera crew is awesome .and as always I like how you keep it short an nice and let the shooting do the talking . Thanks for your content .
Loving the new video style with more real time thrown in, and less crazy sound effects!
Awesome!
My father had one of these for many years. I was more than thrilled to shoot it! Those were the days..
I shot with one of these few years back at the range. Instantly became my favorite and even surpassing the Suomi KP/-31 (and this is coming from a Finn).
Recoil of "Kaarle Kustaa" is so easy to control, even on full auto.
Accuracy up to a 100 meters was quite good also.
I would recommend for every gun enthusiast to try out the M/45. 'thou these are just my opinions.
There is no bigger compliment for something Swedish than a Finn giving high praise to it. Then you know it's really good quality. For example the M/45, Mats Sundin and Peter Forsberg.
@@carpetclimber4027 so stupid bad attitude
Bro it was a joke
A Kpist (the gun shown) has nowadays one situation where it is better than most modern weapons.
Having 3 trained dogs and 3 people with this gun, is hard to defeat if they defend a building. The dogs makes the assailants flinch and change priority so the guns might be used in the most beneficial way.
Had one when I did my national service. Very reliable. Easy to control. And, most importantly, superfun to shoot!
This might be the best video yet.
1.) the Swedish K is awesome
2.) I have been lucky enough to have shot one and confirm it is every bit as glorious as it appears on film
3.) I really dig the dialing back of the over the top production
In sweden each soldier issued with this weapon was also issued with a speed loader. Since the ammo came in the box in a special frame, it was easy to load a full magazine in less than 15 seconds. From mag remove out of the gun, to mag into the gun and fully loaded again 15 seconds or less. However one did have more than one magazine, most carried four magazines.
I've served in the Swedish air force in the beginning of the eighties. An we were instructed to not hold the hand around the magasin. The right way to hold it was in front of the magazine. There is also an issue when you put the weapon apart for cleaning. The rifle barrel never come back in the same position when you secure it with the big barrel nut. So you needed to adjust the aim after every cleening.
So far seen ONE video where it was held with the proper grip. If I would've used this grip I would be on the receiving end of a shouting of using the proper grip. HARD!
Yeah I get frustrated every time I see someone hold the magazine and explain it as a feature. We had the exact same experience in the late 90's when we were working up towards the AK5. Always hand in front of the magazine and to use the sling for support. Tigerns ränder. 😆
@@peartree8338 A1 Linköping 91-92 10 månader
That up close footage of it feeding, cool watching it work.
Damn, Larry still got it. Super good trigger control, accurate, and great recoil management.
The best sub machine gun ever made. There are two features you missed. 1. The speedloader special made for the 36 round stripper clip, that virtually loads a full mag in 2.5 seconds, and 2. that there is a police model with semi auto selector. Furthermore, there is a model where you can fit a M94/14 bayonete on. FUn fact: The Swedish M39B 9mm were forbidden in the US since the penetrated the police bullet proof wests, and was called "cop-killers". Lastly, take away that magazine steering, and you can fit a Soumi 50 round magazine, or a Soumi 72 rounds round magazine.
I’ll have you know the Australian Owen gun is the best sub machine gun ever made boi. The magazine is upside down for an upside down people
@@isaacharkton6169 The weapon for the ones that wants to show themselves early in the game...The Owen sub is probably the worst sub machine gun ever made.
@@bengtgronlund9447 You could immerse the Owen in deep mud, pull it out and it would still function because the bolt is isolated from the retracting handle. That made it ideal for jungle warfare in conflicts like Vietnam where other guns would routinely jam. The fact that the magazine was a top loader meant that infantry soldiers could get very low to the ground during engagements like the Battle of Long Tan.
@@catinthehat906 Sounds like you speak about the M45. Anyway, you could attach 3 types of magazines to the M45. Either the M45B 36 round, and if you removed the magazine guide to the M45, you could use the 50 round Soumi 31 magazine or the round 72 round magazine of the Soumi. You would load the 36 round magazine from a speed loader in 3 seconds. -Owen....my GOD!
@@bengtgronlund9447 The M45 was an open bolt gun like most submachine guns of it's type and so prone to jamming with the ingress of dirt. The Owen saw extensive service in South East Asia during WW2 as well as Korea and Vietnam, unlike the M45 that never had anything like that sort of testing in a major conflict.
Used the k-pist m/45B during my basic training and loved it. Sadly it was removed from active service shortly afterwars so I spentm ost of my 17 years in the Swedish Armed Forces with the AK4 and AK4B as my service weapons. As a radio operator, and later machine gunner, I would have prefered the m/45B my service weapon to be honest.
Man, whoever edits these videos is awesome at it. Thanks Larry
My service weapon when doing military service. Great close combat sub machine gun and VERY reliable.

When I did my army service in Sweden a guy got shot in the back that way. Remember reading about it in the army service newspaper. But it only fires one shot, no? The bolt is in the pulled back position and it fires one shot when it is shaken loose when hitting the ground?
Growing up with my father in the army having m/45 as a service weapon he learned me to shoot that when I was 8 years old. Brings good memories putting thousands of rounds at the range.
Many many conscripts have used this gun. My dad was one of them. Good stuff.
A walk down memory lane, the Swedish Navy still used this gun when I did my military service in 1998.
Andreas Lundgren as did i in 2005. :)
Me too-90 I think. Minesweeper. Anyway, the M45b was boring ,only effective at close. Target hitting >80 metres needed lobbying the bullets! Never adjusting sights...
Had chance to use one in training. Easy to fire off single shots and quite accurate. We got those from Sweden as military aid. For blank firing they had seperate smoothbore barrel, with treads at the muzzle wich was more narrow than 9mm and blankfiring adaptor which was seperate piece and had tendency to become loose after continous firing. Also it used blank ammo with wooden tips. The only disadvantages i noticed- was the weight, and that the rivetts which held magazine housing was becoming loose- and it fell off, i saw several smgs in storage with that sort of problem.
well the first version of the m/45 had a removable mag well for it to be able to take the 50 round mags for the k-pist m/37-39 (Swedish licence version of the Finnish KP-31 Suomi). This was changed with the m/45B version. it also added two external locking hooks for the back cap since it also tended to wiggle loose and, along with the spring and possibly the bolt, hit the person firing it in the face during continous firing. The issue with the blank firing adapter was solved with a locking ring that prevented it from wiggling free as you describe.
Karamelles which country's armed forces did you serve in with the K?
Thanks, i really didn't paid attention- what was the correct designation of the CG M45 smg. Seems that we got the older version.
Nick Thorp I wouldn't call it a service excatly, since i am not serving on full time- it was in the Weekend "Warriors" in Latvia/ Baltic region one of the many ex Soviet republics. We actually had a variety of smallarms, which we received from Sweden- AK-4's ( Swedish version of HK G3), KSP-58B's (Swedish version of FN MAG58), CG M2's and the CG-M45's.
@@karamelles98 thanks for the reply. Kiitos. Nothing wrong with bit of reserves service, it all helps potential aggressors see we are willing to stand up. I did same at time of Balkans, 90s. So Sweden supports Finland etc against Russia, as we know, but its interesting to hear the details. Here is to peace for all. All the best from England.
My father used This in the military training in the late 50s early 60s. amazing that there still some of them in working order.
In short range combat this gun is amazing. Easy to single tap and fantastic control at full blast. Maintenance is a breeze due to the crazy simple construction.
Hehe, had this during my militay service in the Swedish Airforce, the aim was all over the place!
you ddi not look at the barrel to see the stamped number from 1-9. #2 and #6 meant either hold low or high. I got a marksmans badge with the thing!!
LOL - remembering foolling around with adding D-CELL Battery behind the spring for faster fire rate :D
You could put almost anything in there if it fit behind the spring. Like a "grankotte" or a "hudsalva". :-D
yeap same but was using a huge nut/mutter
Damn i never tried that though.. Regret that now
Just pull the spring so it becomes longer👌
Or two springs..
I used more than one SK in Laos 1971-73 . 9mm and super reliable . There were suppressed versions as well . A video regarding the S&W M-39 & 59 suppressed handgun would be nifty . Great video and Thanks .
We actually used these as our primary no: 2 in the early 2000 when I was enlisted. Great for CQB and close combat. This gun is a laser beam as seen in the video. With taped “double mags” you can put a lot of bullets effectively up to 60-70 meters.
For long range we had AK-5C.
Love the Carl-Gustaf!

@@user-th5im2hf7c say whaa?
I love that gun. Shot it a lot in basic training.
Best video yet, simply outstanding.
Thank you . This is my all time favourite firearm .
My go to gun in the early nineties when doing my stint in the SwAF as a meteorologists assistant (Carl Gustav m/45B). Reliable and uncomplicated for self defense.
Better performance than you think for a k-pist :
100m standing and 1/1 target ("helfigur") = always a hit (single shot fire)
100m kneeling and 1/2 target ("halvfigur") = always a hit (single shot)
60m laying down with elbow support from ground and 1/7 target (headshot) = 9 of 10 a hit (single shot)
Can only talk for myself but I think that most shooters can accomplish same results with CG m/45B.
With the 9mm sk ptr m/39B (tombak plated) you get penetration on "normal" body armor within normal combat distances for a k-pist (i.e. not ceramic plates though). 9mm sk ptr m/39B was introduced after combat experince in Kongo in the 60's resulting in flatter bullet trajectory and better penetration.
Comment on the video :
Don't grab the magazine with your left hand, instead place it just in front of the cartridge ejector extending into the barrel shroud (it won't get hot as it's not in contact with the barrel!). You will get more precise shots that way as you don't "wobble" the gun. Also the barrel shroud seems to be loose or perhaps bad threads on your copy?
And don't slam the magazine in with the bolt in that position. It can go off, and did so for one of the soldiers in my company during training. Lucky it was just blanks otherwise the guy in front would had bin hit. Now he only got a ringing ear.
I have a cousin who does security contract work overseas for DSS and he had a photo of one on the hood of a US Embassy BMW in Nigeria, Maybe it belonged to the local security group outside the gate...
I carried one for a while when I was assigned to a reconnaissance unit in Phu Bai, I Corps tactical zone. As I recall, it was rugged, reliable and accurate. Later ended up with an X177E1 and when I was reassigned to an aviation assignment, I traded both to some friends at a nearby Special Forces compound for a M34 3/4 ton truck so I would have my own transportation to the beach when I wasn’t flying.
This is the gun I was issued when I joined the Swedish Home Guard (Walmart version of the U.S National Guard in terms of equipment) youth. Loved shooting it!
I own the m45B, a bit more modernized version of the Swedish K. Awesome firearm.

I was issued one when i served in danish army from 84 to 85, The first 3 months I had an M1 Garand, which I was sad to let go, but getting this made the farewell easier.
The best thing with this k-pist was the loader, 36 rounds into the mag in no time!
Yeah, filling a mag in under ten seconds was great. The guys with the AK4 (Swedish version of the H&K G3) managed perhaps 6-7 rounds in the same time.

Had this been invented at the beginning of WW2 the British would’ve had no competition with the Germans in SMG.
That’s gun is hot.
That sound was my childhood in Sweden at the 70th and 80th! Living close to an army regiment
Uncle Larry slaying the steel with the Swedish K!
Stick a D-cell battery of a pingpong ball behind the spring and see what happens. Hint, hang on for dear life. :D
it becomes a Swedish MAC - nothíng to do with Apple
Interesting that so many webpages/films take up Brittish SMG:s... If we look at the Soumi SMG I think we have it more corect.
What do you mean?
@@karolinska1601 Stengun mentioned, wish I have heard and read before. But looking at the Soumi and the m45, it have more similaritys, then with the Stengun.
@@hakansoderholm6514 It's not about looking similar, it's about mechanical similarities.
It's Suomi not Soumi. Hallå!
What i carried for most of my service at the end of the cold war.. The K-Pist as we used to call it. It and the AK4 a Swedish version of the Heckler & Koch G3 were the main arms of the Swedish soldier until 1986 when the AK5 a tweaked version of FN FNC was introduced. I wish it was possible to own a "Swedish K" without all the hassle required today here. They were so much fun to shoot and very very reliable.
Very fun to see you talk about the gun Hälsningar from Sverige :)
although the trigger pull looks like it sucks ass, this, to me, has my preference in fire rate.
Ugh, why can’t we home build awesome open-bolt sub guns again?
Oh right, they’ll shoot my dog.
Just don't get a dog and then you'll be fine.
Zedrick hahaha, touché
In Oklahoma, your dog will shoot you with it... Last weeks news cycle. Hahaha.
On 2Wheels hahaha, oh wow!
D O we can dream.
cheers larry as always memorable atmosphere
I have shoot with this gun alot, and it’s extreemly accurate. I loved it! Super easy to clean!
After watching this I want a S&W76 😂
Check out Forgotten Weapons - Gun Jesus tests it, and finds it to be quite good.
Bra vapen stryktålig inte så mycket som krånglar👍🏻
AWESOME CHANNEL LARRY VICKERS IS THE MAN!
I had this weapon in the military in the 1980s. As a mechanised air defence unit it was perfect for close defence and having it in the armoured vehicle where space is limited.
was taught to never hold the magazine, instead hold infront of it... and for the love of god. press down the little thingie when u screw the ring back that secures that outer thing :D ( up at the pipe):....
They forgot to build in a recoil ...
I was issued this mp , in my time in the danish military 1978-1979, known as the M-49 at this time, my favorite mp and i will hit anything within 200 meters with this superb mp, singleshot will take same training, but is possible when you learn, deliberately using the trigger to shoot, its rugged and will work in most conditions, as said my favorite gun :-)
As I've just watched Ian on Forgotten Weapons go through both the Port Said and the CG m/45, it would appear that the PS are identical to the orginal CG. However, the one favoured by the Swedish military was the B-model, which had a number of changes to it. Most of their original guns were refitted as B-models. The notable differences were a fixed magazine-well, as opposed to the removable one on the A-model, an improved bolt-buffer and a different barrel shroud.
There was also a C-model, with a bayonet mount for guard duty and a police-version with selective fire.
Is it just only me or this guy sound like Tom Hanks🤔
Sounds? He also look like him i think😀
