Finnish Stuff

Some Finnish weapon additions.

NOTE:
I have not at least yet added much of production weapons/stuff as this was originally supplementing other Finnish suggestion post but apparently necroing is bad even when its supporting an existing suggestion post, enlisted forums are weird af and barebones.

Suomi KP with muzzle device.

Prototype recoilless rifle with multiple variants one in 46mm firing German rifle grenades, one in 47mm firing modified hafthohlladung 3 shaped charges and one in 50mm firing mortar shells and panzerfaust klein and gross.
recoilless_DRP

Weird rocket launches prototype based on Soviet 45mm carriage (the thing its mounted on, not the tube/gun).
recoilless_prototype_1

Prototype 75mm anti tank gun 75 K/44, highly unconventional design but still highly effective. It used same ammo as Pak 40 but had higher velocity thus better ballistics than Pak 40.
Test with PzGr 39 APHE, Pak 40: 750 m/s vs 75 K/44: 903 m/s.

For Squad you could add Osasto Törni / Detachment Törni, a Jaeger company commanded by famous Finnish war hero Captain (Finnish service), Hauptsturmführer (German service) and Major (US Army), Lauri Törni or later known as Larry A. Thorne.

Also a few semi auto rifle prototypes like L-36, chambered in 7.62x54r, 5 round non detachable mag, 5kg weight, prototype made. And more

I had no idea that this was tested for T34/85 variant, noted!

With suitable ammunition such a short supply 29th of September 1944 Finnish military approved plan of testing installing of German 75-mm Psv.K/40 (7.5 cm StuK 40 L/48) tank gun to turret of T-34/85 tank with a bushing system. This was experimented in February of 1945, but test results did not lead into any further actions other than re-equipping the particular tank (T-34/85 Ps. 245-4) with it its original gun. The Soviets had also AP-T and APCR-T rounds for this gun, but apparently there were none in Finnish use.
