The title of the page

I doubt that "Suomi-konepistooli" is a good name for this page. This term is nearly unknown outside Finland. As for me, "Suomi submachine gun" would be a better choice. --Greg-Z (talk) 13:01, 21 November 2021 (EST)

That would make sense, since "konepistooli" is just "submachine gun" in Finnish. TheExplodingBarrel (talk) 13:29, 21 November 2021 (EST)
