Swedish K: The Carl Gustav m/45B and the Port Said
This video delves into the history and design of the Swedish K, specifically the Carl Gustav m/45B. It explores the gun's development in Sweden during the 1930s and World War II, its adoption as the m/45, and its characteristics like the open-bolt, fixed-firing-pin mechanism chambered in 9x19mm Parabellum. The evolution from Suomi magazines to a more convenient 36-round box magazine is discussed. The video also touches upon the "Swedish K" nickname, its use by American special forces in Vietnam, and the subsequent production of the Smith & Wesson Model 76. Finally, it highlights Egypt's licensing of the design to create the Port Said submachine gun.
