Kulsprutegevär m/40
Produced by Knorr-Bremse AG
The Kulsprutegevär m/40, Kg m/40 (Machine rifle model 40) is an automatic rifle used by the Swedish Army during the 1940s. The rifle was negatively referred to as "galopperande järnsängen" (the "galloping iron bed") by soldiers owing to its recoil. It primarily saw use with the Swedish Home Guard during World War II but was withdrawn from service and replaced with the older Swedish version of the M1918 Browning Automatic Rifle known as the Kg m/21 afterward.
