The Finnish LS-26/31 represents a rare drum-fed variant of the Lahti-Saloranta M/26 LMG, developed by VKT for export. While typically using 20-round box magazines, these experimental models featured a 75-round drum and were chambered in various calibers, including 8mm Mauser for a large Chinese order. Despite a significant Chinese contract, only a fraction were delivered, with remaining units seeing limited Finnish Army service during the Winter War, often converted back to box magazine use.
This video delves into the history and characteristics of the Finnish LS-26/31 light machine gun, notably used by Chinese warlords. It highlights the weapon's drum-fed design and its historical context. The description also promotes a Kickstarter campaign for 'Forged in Snow,' suggesting a connection to historical or military-themed content.
