The UK vz.59 Czech Universal Machine Gun features a unique pistol grip charging system and a push-through belt feed for 7.62x54R cartridges. While functional, its light weight and low profile result in significant recoil, making full-auto control difficult compared to heavier platforms like the PKM. Downward ejection of hot casings also presents a handling challenge.
This video showcases a variety of Finnish firearms, including submachine guns like the KP-44 and m/31 Suomi, light machine guns such as the DP-28 and KvKK-62, and classic Mosin-Nagant variants. It also features the Rk-95 assault rifle and the Sako TRG precision rifle. The demonstration highlights the distinct characteristics and calibers of each firearm in a range day setting.
The KvKK 62, Finland's squad automatic weapon counterpart to the RK 62, is a rare 7.62x39mm light machine gun. It features an RPD-like push-through belt feed but a Bren-style tilting bolt. Despite a high rate of fire, it suffered from reliability issues and was eventually replaced by the PKM.
