Suomi KP/31 40 round event squad

The suomi was very versatile of a gun, can be a makeshift lmg and a menace in CQC fighting, but apart no one talks about is its magazines.

  • Suomi KP/31 (40)
    It would be a Suomi variant with a 40 round magazine, the magazine looks Identical to the 71 round magazine but couldn’t hold more than 40.

Author note: this gun is a event gun so all the I show are at its upgraded stats

Br3
Dmg: 6.7-6.6
Rpm: 990
Cap: 40
Feed: detachable mag
Reload: 2.5s (empty)
Velocity: 400
Recoil: vert 12 horz 6
Weight: 5.0
Note: due to it being lighter it would have a quicker ADS time and easier hipfire

-Reasoning for the stats: I want a BR3 Suomi smg for Germany, but it had to have some nerfs to it so it can be in br3 otherwise it be a Br4 smg that no one would use, further more it’s a Iconic gun that is more likely to be used by players and have further player retention to buy the premium Suomis.

  • The squad: it would be a assaulter squad with assaulter 2 stats redistributed it would compose of 4 assaulters and one engineer, and a free slot for a AT gunner that can be switched out for a Engineer too like other squads.

40 round drum was replaced by 71 1937.
Never heard a single 40 drum used during war.

But why not.

I would rather go with more unique looking mags like 50 round coffin mag or 20 round stick mag

But 40 round drum would probably be the easiest to add so im not against it

If the game developers add the Suomi submachine gun with a high-capacity drum magazine to premium paid squads, then they should also add the magazine-fed version of the Suomi submachine gun to limited-time events so that all players can obtain it for free.

First of all, I don’t agree with the proposed stats.
Its a 9mm gun, the standard damage is 6.8 not to mention that the other Soumi kp/31 with 71 round drum mag also has 6.8 damage.

Secondly, there are so many Soumi variants, Danish made M1941 Soumi, Swiss Hispano-Suiza as MP 43/44, commercial Finnish Soumis that would make much better event rewards than the common soumis that should be saved for Finnish squads.

Yeah and its really cool, I only did not mention it because it’s really unlikely that any side used it in the war, though I guess it could still be added as a limited thing like event or premium.

No one in the war used it, the 39 model is identical to the Finnish one so there’s no point, the 37 model used a obscure pistol cartridge that no one was using either.

Who’d get it, anyway…? No one had it, so there’s an equal claim for everyone.

My goal was to make it a br3 if I kept all the same stats it be very likely it’ll be br4 which I stated that

I already explained myself under the stats literally called “reasoning for the stats”

It could very well also be BR III since it is PPSH-41 box(32)

Point out the PPD-1929 smg is also br3 it can be easily argued if it had a dmg model of 6.8 it’d be in br4 very easily

I’m well aware of those two magazine I like them but I also shown them with the photo provided as my evidence of the 40 rnd magazine

Also the stick magazine you use isn’t the 20 round magazine but the 36 round magazine made after the war
