[Jabroni]

Any images of the Ksp m/42 Machine gun out there?

I heard it is a '1919' but a lighter version with a bipod & stock, Believed to use 6mm or 8mm rounds

only one i could find - sorry for quality - blame google

The Ksp m/36 is a weapon of the Browning design that is watercooled and beltfed. The belts contained 250 rounds. It was heavy but with excellent endurance. The photo shown the gun in a dug out position in the fifties. Calibre was either the 8mm ammo or the 6,5 mm ammo. The only difference was in the barrels. The weapon was mounted on a tripod or on AA mounting on trucks or the early APC Kp-bil m/42 in doublemounts providing awesome firepower at groundtargets. The weapon has been heavily used by static defence units after its retiring from the field units and the territorial defence.

The Ksp m/42 was an aircooled version of the Ksp m/36. Its cousin the Ksp m/39 is almost identical but used in AFVs only. It weighed 14 kg and the belts were the same as in the m/36 and m/39. Initially it was mounted on the tripod in the picture but later a strangelooking bipod was attached at the muzzleend and an even weirderlooking shoulderrest on the buttend. A carrying handle was attached on the mantlet as well. The weapon has served in home guard units after the retiring from the field army and the territorial defence.

If I remember correctly the stock was added when they tried to make it into a lighter machinegun that could be operated by one gunner and a loader without the use of a tripod. Not sure but it was probably called M/42B.
