KvKK 62: The Ugly Duckling of Light Machine Guns

This video provides an in-depth look at the Finnish KvKK 62 light machine gun, the squad automatic counterpart to the Rk 62 rifle. The reviewer highlights its open-bolt operation, 7.62x39mm caliber, and RPD-style belt feeding. Mechanically, it draws from Czech designs like the ZB-26 and Bren, featuring a vertically traveling locking block and long stroke gas piston. The unique pistol grip assembly doubles as the bolt handle. Despite its widely perceived ugliness and a poor reputation among Finnish veterans, the reviewer finds it controllable to shoot when in good condition, attributing issues to age and potential mishandling. The video also notes its replacement by the PKM in modern Finnish service.
