The Hovea M44 was tested by the Danish and Swedish militaries in 1945, competing agains the Carl Gustaf M45. It was designed and produced by Husqvarna (yes, the chainsaw company) and just 10 of them were made for testing. It was designed around the Suomi quad-stack magazine, which was also originally a Swedish design. Sweden chose the Carl Gustaf, but Denmark preferred the Hovea – but with a couple modifications. Specifically, they wanted the grip and stock from the Carl Gustaf, and that ended up becoming the Hovea M49 which was adopted into Danish service.

Considering the Karl Gustaf has already been suggested twice I think this guy would be another one. The upsides are it is the more rare 36 round magazine making it great for the game. A folding metal stock and a sling just make the gun pop. As a prototype I think it gbe great as an event bp or premium weapon. It can also use a 50 round mag leaving it open for br 3 and 4.

I love korea which is better then Vietnam for factions and sub faction but
They think there is overlap copy paste wait to they see a Korean war tech tree
Also if records are bad for ww2 there worse from then on
I can only imagine how much worse Vietnam will be
Though I’d love to crack the m14 development I have been bumping into for a while
