	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")		During the [[Vietnam War]], the US Navy SEALs used the m/45 extensively.
