This video delves into the Finnish LS-26/31 light machine gun, a development of the LS26. It highlights the experimental 75-round drum magazine designed for anti-aircraft use and its subsequent adoption by China, who ordered 30,000 units chambered in 8mm Mauser. The video notes the export limitations imposed by Japan and the limited use of these trial guns by Finnish forces during the Winter War. The description also links to a Kickstarter for 'Forged in Snow' and the creator's Patreon and Floatplane channels.
This video delves into the history and features of the Valmet M76, Finland's stamped receiver AK variant. It discusses the evolution from the milled receiver m/62 to the stamped m/71 and its eventual adoption as the m/62-76. The export version, the M76, is detailed, covering its various options including semi-auto and full-auto configurations, different buttstocks, and caliber availability in the US market. The video explains why the Finnish military eventually deemed stamped receivers less durable and harder to repair than milled ones, leading to the end of military production in 1982 and scaled-back export production.
