The Hovea M44, a Husqvarna-produced submachine gun tested by the Danish military, featured a unique folding stock and utilized Suomi 50-round quad-stack magazines. It was an open-bolt, full-auto only blowback design with a manual bolt lock and a simple tubular receiver. Despite its functional action, design elements like the stock and grip led to its evolution into the Hovea M49, which incorporated features from the Carl Gustaf M45.

The Finnish M44 submachine gun is a direct copy of the Soviet PPS-43, adopted after capturing examples during the Continuation War. It was designed for cost-effectiveness using stamped sheet metal, unlike the more complex Suomi M31. The M44 was adapted to use standard Finnish magazines and saw limited post-war use before Finland acquired Sten guns.

The Smith & Wesson Model 76 is a 9mm SMG developed as a domestic alternative to the Swedish K for US forces in Vietnam. While often overshadowed by its Swedish predecessor and later clones, the original S&W 76 is a well-built firearm featuring a simple blowback action, a 36-round magazine, and a folding stock. Its design incorporates features like internal debris clearance grooves and an ambidextrous selector, distinguishing it from the M45.
