Two heavily armed Norwegians.They both carry rifles and ammunition pouches, in addition to this, they seem to carry Suomi m/1931 machineguns, the guy on the right has also a pistol. None of them have hand grenades, or helmets though. |

More action shots. This
Norwegian soldier is also armed with the Finnish Suomi m/1931.
The Suomi was a 9 mm machinegun, and had a firing rate at 900 rounds/min. In comparison, the German Mp 40 had 500r/min. It was a very solid constructed weapon, with high accuracy due to its long barrel. |
