These needed some armament, and one idea put forth was to fit an m\/31 Suomi to a ball mount inside a vehicle. This required simply designing a specific shroud for the barrel to fit the mount (as well as the pistol grip frame like the Korsu\/bunker model), and a spare standard shroud could be carried as well, so the Suomi could be taken out and used if the vehicle needed to be abandoned. Only a few dozen were originally made, and they were all out of service before the end of the Continuation War.<\/p>\n<p>During the wars, Finland was able to capture some Soviet armor, and also a large number of Soviet DT guns. These couple perform the same role as the tank model Suomi, already fit the captured Soviet vehicles, and offered a more powerful cartridge. They completely replaced the small number of tank Suomis in service use.<\/p>\n<p>Contact:<br \/>Forgotten Weapons<br \/>6281 N.
