This video showcases the Finnish m/27rv Cavalry Carbine, a specialized variant of the Mosin Nagant rifle. Developed in the early 1930s for the Finnish Cavalry Brigade, it features a shorter 520mm barrel, a side-mounted sling, and a bent bolt handle, differentiating it from the standard m/27. The carbine was produced using a mix of new and existing Mosin-Nagant parts. Despite limited production, the m/27rv saw service in the Winter War and Continuation War. The video details its scarcity and discusses the fate of the remaining examples, with most being sold for export to the United States. The presenter expresses gratitude to a private collector for making the example available for review.

This video explores the L-34 Sampo, a gas-operated light machine gun designed by Aimo Lahti in the early 1930s. Influenced by the Czech ZB-26, it was developed as a potential successor to Finland's problematic LS-26 LMG. Despite being lighter, simpler, and performing well in trials, bureaucratic issues and a shift in military requirements towards belt-fed, intermediate-caliber weapons prevented its adoption. Prototypes were produced in calibers like 7.62x54R and 7.92x57mm Mauser, with hopes for both domestic and international sales. The video highlights the L-34 as a "rejected masterpiece" due to missed opportunities.

This video details the DS-39, a Soviet 'universal' machine gun developed to replace the Maxim. Designed by Degtyarev in the late 1920s, it was intended for tripod, vehicle, and anti-aircraft roles, chambered in 7.62x54R and using Maxim belts. Despite adoption in 1939 and limited service in the Winter War, the DS-39 suffered from critical malfunctions, including out-of-battery detonations and a unique failure where the bolt would extract a live cartridge from the belt. Due to insurmountable issues, production ceased after only a year, with just over 10,000 units made. The Red Army reverted to the Maxim, and a new program led to the Goryunov SG-43. The Finnish Army captured some DS-39s and reportedly made improvements.

This video delves into the Finnish m/44 Prototype Blowback 9mm Pistol, a fascinating piece of firearms history. Developed as a more cost-effective alternative to the Lahti L35 for the Finnish Defense Forces, its production was unfortunately timed, with the initial batch of 25 completed after the end of the Continuation War. Post-war treaties halted further development, leaving the m/44 as a limited production prototype. The video highlights its simple blowback 9x19mm operation, single-stack 8-round magazine, single-action trigger, and external hammer. It also draws comparisons to the Ruby and Browning fixed barrel pistols for its locking system and the Tokarev for its removable fire control unit. Production details from VKT in 1944 are also covered.
