The Carl Gustaf M/45 is a [[SMG]] designed by Gunnar Johansson, adopted in 1945 (hence the m/45 designation), and manufactured in Eskilstuna, Sweden. The m/45 was the standard submachine gun of the Swedish Army from 1945 to 1965.

TEXT GOES HERE
The m/45 SMG was developed in 1944–45, incorporating and improving upon design elements from earlier submachine guns like the German [[MP 40]], British [[Sten]], and Soviet [[PPSh-41]] and [[PPS-43]]. After testing designs from Carl Gustafs Stads Gevärsfaktori and Husqvarna Vapenfabriks, the Carl Gustafs prototype was chosen and adopted as the Kpist m/45 in 1945. Despite its similar appearance, the Danish Hovea M/49 SMG is not derived from the m/45 but from Husqvarna's failed test model fm44.

During the Vietnam War, the US Navy SEALs used the m/45 extensively. One of the gun's qualities which appealed to the US Navy was that the m/45 can fire almost immediately out of the water (over the beach). It also saw use by CIA operatives and advisers.

The US Navy was so impressed by the m/45 that when Sweden embargoed the export of weapons to the United States in 1966, Smith & Wesson was given the task of producing a copy. This was designated the Smith & Wesson [[M76]]. However, by the time the M76 was ready for combat deployment, the US Navy interest had largely evaporated. Many of the m/45s used by US forces and agencies were devoid of markings, implying clandestine use ("sanitized")

The Carl Gustaf M/45 is a SMG designed by Gunnar Johansson, adopted in 1945 (hence the m/45 designation), and manufactured in Eskilstuna, Sweden. The m/45 was the standard submachine gun of the Swedish Army from 1945 to 1965.

HISTORY

The m/45 SMG was developed in 1944–45, incorporating and improving upon design elements from earlier submachine guns like the German MP 40, British Sten, and Soviet PPSh-41 and PPS-43. After testing designs from Carl Gustafs Stads Gevärsfaktori and Husqvarna Vapenfabriks, the Carl Gustafs prototype was chosen and adopted as the Kpist m/45 in 1945. Despite its similar appearance, the Danish Hovea M/49 SMG is not derived from the m/45 but from Husqvarna's failed test model fm44.

During the Vietnam War, the US Navy SEALs used the m/45 extensively. One of the gun's qualities which appealed to the US Navy was that the m/45 can fire almost immediately out of the water (over the beach). It also saw use by CIA operatives and advisers. In US service it was largely known as the "Swedish-K" or "K-Rifle". The US Navy was so impressed by the m/45 that when Sweden embargoed the export of weapons to the United States in 1966, Smith & Wesson was given the task of producing a copy. This was designated the Smith & Wesson M76. However, by the time the M76 was ready for combat deployment, the US Navy interest had largely evaporated. Many of the m/45s used by US forces and agencies were devoid of markings, implying clandestine use ("sanitized")
