This video delves into Denmark's post-World War II submachine gun, the Hovea m/49. Originally a Swedish design by Husqvarna for military trials, it competed against the Carl Gustav m/45. Although similar in design (simple blowback, open bolt, tube and stamping construction), the Hovea m/49's unique ability to use Suomi drums was a key factor in its adoption by Denmark. Licensed production occurred in Copenhagen. The SMG saw service into the 1990s, replaced by the Diemaco C7, and was subsequently supplied to Lithuania. The description also highlights the magazine types used during its service life.
