Historical profile
Designed by Pál Király around a delayed-lever semi-rigid bolt system, the 39M entered service with the Royal Hungarian Army in 1939.
Its 9×25 mm Mauser chambering gave it more power and longer range than contemporary 9 mm Parabellum SMGs, at the cost of a bulkier 40-round magazine.
The side magazine could fold forward into a recess in the stock to reduce overall bulk during transport. It was replaced during the war by the more compact 43M.
