    I have shot these before. They are fantastic submachineguns! They are smooth like the MP38 and MP40. Wonderful to shoot and easy to operate. Bare bones no nonsense weapon. I love them.

    Stellar video brother! I’ve been a fan of the Swedish K for a long time. Almost bought one a few years back that was transferable but went with a Mac10 instead because of price. Their history is definitely interesting. Thank you for all your hard work that you put into these videos. I always learn a lot.

    Great stable shooter in full auto. Super easy to keep on target. I build a semi-auto one with Indianapolis Ordinance parts. Reliable with both sticks and drums.

      My only issue with the I.O. receiver is that it is machined and thus is very heavy. It really adds weight to the gun.

      @@misha5670 yep. A bit less than a pound heavier if I recall. I got mine 2 years ago on gunbroker within an hour of it being listed. Basically stole it. Paid $400 for the parts kit, along with all the Indy Ord semi parts, and 6 stick mags. Kit prices are crazy now.

    That is a fine weapon sir. You always show something new. I have handled and shot a live Swedish K. It is a fun gun to shoot. Now I have to find a semi auto only version...You are correct, the S&W 76 was not as nice as the Swedish production

    Sweden discontinued the sale of the Swedish K smg to the United States because Sweden did not like that the US was involved in the Vietnam War. US Navy Seals were using the Swedish K in Vietnam. The Foreign Minister of Sweden compared the United States to Nazi Germany, and then Sweden sent medical and fuel supplies to North Vietnam. Several Swedish politicians openly voiced admiration for Ho Chi Minh. America showed those Swedes by reverse engineering the Swedish K and making the S&W M76.

      Many white Americans have swedish ancestry, in a broader sense most white Americans are from a Germanic nation. So you referring to Swedes as a different foreign people from Americans truly show what your anti-white agenda is

      @thebear7128 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Well in swedish we have two words for a spherical object. Boll= a hollow sphere like a tennis ball and the word Kula= a solid sphere like a musket ball. fun fact the word kul by it self means fun so if you put a space between Kul and Spruta you would be writing fun squirter. which i find to be quite accurate.

      hose
      verb (used with object), hosed, hos·ing.
      to water, wash, spray, or drench by means of a hose (often followed by down ):
      to hose the garden; to hose down the ship's deck.
      Swedish: "Spruta - apparat för uppsugande eller utsprutanade av vätska".
      Spray
      water or other liquid broken up into minute droplets and blown, ejected into, or falling through the air.
      It is almost synonymous, but not really. There is no perfect translation, but hose is better than spray in my opinion.

      ​@ You can´t be serious! No definetly not synonymous: Hose is both a noun _and_ a verb in english - however, "Slang" is just a noun in swedish. The swedish word for "Bullet hose pistol", as you write, would be "Kul-slangs-pistol" , and apparently it isn´t. It is "Kul-sprute-pistol" = Bullet Spray Pistol. You spray bullets with it. You do not hose bullets ... Might not be as funny as you would like, but nevertheless, true. Men, vänta nu ... du e´la en sån där Jötlabörjare, ellärr? :-D
