Lahti-Saloranta LS/26
The Lahti-Saloranta M/26 (alternatively LS/26) is a light machine gun (though often referred as "pikakivääri" (automatic rifle) in Finnish service) which was designed by Aimo Lahti and Arvo Saloranta in 1926. The weapon was able to fire in both full automatic and semi-automatic modes. Both 20 round box and 75 round drum magazines were produced but the Finnish army seems to have only used the smaller 20 round magazine.
