Favourite of the SEALS from Vietnam, we just call it Kpist. Acronym for Kulsprutepistol. :thup:
 
Sweden was occupied by and collaborated with Nazis in WW2. Was the weapon manufactured by Nazis? Ukies would be comfortable with Nazi weapons since they were used as Concentration Death Camp guards during WW2.

Sweden was never occupied. You must be thinking of Denmark. Sweden was neutral towards Germany in much the same manner the US was neutral towards the UK in 1940.
 
OR Norway
I don't think Norway did any manufacturing for the Germans, it was mostly a source of resources and a pathway for Swedish goods and materials to Germany. That's why both the UK and Germany invaded Norway in the first place. The UK to block shipping and Germany to ship.

The economic consequences of the German occupation were severe. Norway lost all its major trading partners the moment it was occupied. Germany became the main trading partner, but could not make up for the lost import and export business. While production capacity largely remained intact, the German authorities confiscated a very large part of the output, leaving Norway only 43% of its production.[8]

Combined with a general drop in productivity, Norwegians were quickly confronted with a scarcity of basic commodities, including food. There was a real risk of famine. Many, if not most, Norwegians started growing their own crops and keeping their own livestock. City parks were divided among inhabitants, who grew potatoes, cabbage, and other hardy vegetables. People kept pigs, rabbits, chicken and other poultry in their houses and out-buildings. Fishing and hunting became more widespread. Gray and black market provided for flow of goods. Norwegians also learned to use ersatz products for a wide variety of purposes, ranging from fuel to coffee, tea, and tobacco
