Stoner 63- most controlable Full auto rifle ?
#35
The Suomi doesn't move when you shoot it. You can write your name with it. With a 72rd drum, it became a close support weapon for the Finns.

It uses vacuum effect on the bolt, a strong recoil spring, and weight to achieve balanced recoil.

The m/45 "Swedish K" Karl Gustav 9mm SMG is the same way, only much lighter than the Kp31 at just a little over 7lbs, whereas the Kp31 weighs over 10lbs.

The Swedes made a copy of the Kp31, but with a reduced weight receiver tube, shorter barrel, higher comb angle on the stock, and a more simple rear sight. My late friend had one. Look center row, 3rd SMG down:
