Danuvia 44M 🇭🇺

In late 1944 with Soviet and Romanian troops approaching Budapest, Pál Király made a last-ditch submachine gun the Danuvia 44M.

To simplify production it had large grips, ventilated steel barrel shroud, it had no buttstock or folding stock and no bayonet mounting, but it would continue with a 40-Round magazine like its predecessors.

Only a few trial weapons were made by Danuvia Gépgyár in Budapest at the end of 1944.

:white_check_mark: Weapon Type
Submachine gun

:white_check_mark: Battle Rating (BR)
BR3, has the same magazine capacity and same rate of fire of the Beretta M38A 40 and TZ-45

:white_check_mark: Type
Hungarian Event Squad (In my opinion it could be from some division that was surrounded in Budapest)

:white_check_mark: Availability
In a Hungarian Event Squad, it would be very unique because we don’t have any Hungarian squad in the game, it would be a new weapon in the game and it wouldn’t be unbalanced because we already have the Beretta M38A and TZ-45 in the same BR.

:white_check_mark: Gameplay Purpose & Role
It doesn’t fill any gaps, just another Hungarian submachine gun cool.

its not confirmed if Pál Király actually worked on designing this SMG, its actually called Király-Győrik because most of the design was made by József Győrik.
It would have been designated as Danuvia 44M if it was ever adopted but it wasnt, only a few were made probably for testing.

My question is whether it would be a assault squad or guerrilla squad?

Assault, in my opinion, Germany already has three guerrilla squads

Put it on a Hungarian squad, add it in an event with a Mongolian/Soviet-minority squad, and we got the best event the game has ever had.

In general, we need more national squads: Hungarian, Romanian, but also Indian, Gurkha, Eritrean (Ascari) etc…
