Swedish K

LAV shoots the Egyptian licensed version in this video, which is essentially the same.


This gun was well-regarded and had uses outside of US Special Forces during the Vietnam War as some helicopter pilots carried it. There was a story called 'The Curse of Swedish K' from a long time ago.

The gun also made an appearance in movie 'Godfather'

FN 509 vs Water

MrGunsnGear tests how FN 509 performs when submerged in water, and compares with a Glock 17.


Lesson to take away is the fact that any submerged pistol needs to be drained out. The video was a quick video so it's not 100% scientific and should be anecdotal.
