Suomi KP/-31 would stand for Finland Machine-Pistol 1931, often referred to just as Suomi KP, this particular firearm would be classified as a SMG under modern definitions. Designed in 1921, revealed to the public in 1925 and officially entered service with the Finnish army in 1931. While the rest of the world was suffering from the Second World War, Finland was facing the red menace of Soviet Union alone at northern Europe, Suomi KP accompanied Finland from the Winter War, Continuation War and until finally the signing of the Moscow Armistice.
The Suomi KP/-31 ('Suomi-konepistooli', or "Finland Machine-pistol") is a Finnish-designed submachine gun used by the forces of Finland primarily during the Second World War. The Suomi KP/-31 is regarded by many as as one of the most successful submachine gun designs of World War II. The effective use of the Suomi KP/-31 by the Finnish military against the Red Army during the Winter War would lead Soviet designers to begin designing their own submachine guns.<ref name = "suomi wiki">[[wikipedia:Suomi KP/-31|Wikipedia entry of Suomi KP]]</ref>


Suomi KP operates on a simple blow-back mechanism, chambered for the 9x19mm Parabellum/Luger cartridge, this SMG is capable of firing up to a rate of 900 rounds per minute, able to cover an effective range of 200 metres. The most innovative feature on the KP is the "open-jaw" magazine well, which allows the use of a Swedish pattern double staggered-row magazine (coffin magazine), as well as the conventional staggered-row magazine of 20 rounds, though the Finnish Army issue Suomi is often found with the 71-round large capacity drum magazine. Other design details on Suomi KP include the single piece wooden block as the gun frame and the stock, air cooled barrel and right side shell ejection port.
The weapon that would become the KP/-31 was designed by Aimo Lahti and Lieutenant Y. Koskinen, and was developed from an earlier design, the KP/-26. A number of changes were made to that earlier gun, with the most notable modifications being the switch from 7.63mm Mauser to 9mm Parabellum and a new type of magazine. This new magazine, a 71-round drum magazine, would later be copied by the Soviets for use in the PPSh-41 submachine gun. In order to produce enough Suomi submachine guns for the Finnish military, Lahti's company would partner with Tikkakoski, an industrial iron and lumber company based in Finland. The production of the Suomi would mark Tikkakoski's entry into the firearms production industry.<ref name = "suomi forgotten weapons">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CiTS3dcYicw Forgotten Weapons video on the Suomi]</ref>


Suomi KP's derivatives include the famous Soviet PPSh-41 and the Degtyaryov's DDP-40, both are developed based on the Suomi KP units captured by the Red Army with their advancements into Finnish territories. It is likely due to them being being rush produced to adapt to the new war tactics, their performance is still below that of a Suomi KP, their predecessor showed a better accuracy rating thanks to it's longer barrel while having with the same large magazine capacity and high rate of fire.
The Suomi operates on a simple blow-back mechanism, and is capable of firing up to a rate of 900 rounds per minute. One of the most innovative features on the KP/-31 is the "open-jaw" magazine well, which allowed for the use of a Swedish-pattern double staggered-row magazine (often called a 'coffin magazine'), as well as the conventional 20 round box magazines. However, the Finnish Army-issue Suomi is most often found with the 71-round large-capacity drum magazine. Externally, the Suomi appears similar to many other submachine guns of the time, with its single-piece wooden body, semi-pistol grip stock, and tubular metal receiver. Something that was unusual for a submachine gun at that time was that the Suomi had a quick-change barrel. Given the weapon's rapid rate-of-fire, barrels would often get hot during sustained fire. This quick-detach barrel system allowed a Finnish soldier to swap out an overheated barrel for a fresh one should the need arise.


Initially designed as a substitute to a light machine gun, but however the pistol cartridges could never cover the effective range of a LMG and thus it was proven inadequate for that task, instead through trials and adjustments Finnish Army developed the tactic of using Suomi KP as a short range support/assault type weaponry alongside their rifle and machine guns.
The Finnish Defense Forces were equipped with only 4000 Suomi KP/-31 submachine guns when the Winter War started in late 1939. This was due to the cost of the Suomi. The KP/-31 was produced to a higher quality standard than most other weapons of World War 2. This, in the long run, proved to be one of the few limitations of the weapon - it was simply too expensive and time-consuming to produce in the large numbers required of war time. The design arrangement also made the Suomi KP/-31 rather heavy for a submachine gun, but this in no way detracted from its battlefield usefulness for the weapon proved to be very accurate in the role - especially at close quarters. The KP/-31 was issued to Finnish infantry squads, who made exceptional use of them in guerilla attacks on Soviet Army forces. The Finns proved experts in their knowledge of the home country and utilized the environment to their advantage, in a few instances even laying waste to entire Red Army elements. Captured Soviet weapons were reused whenever possible, and the Finns ultimately dealt blows to both the notion of Soviet invincibility and Russian national pride, embarrassing the Red Army on the world stage. Despite their larger numbers, the Red Army was handicapped by logistical and equipment problems, as well as Stalin's "Great Purge", which removed many capable leaders from their posts prior to the invasion, effectively watering down his immense fighting force. The Finns did go on to lose territory in the war, but did force an interim peace and maintained their sovereignty. The Soviets lost nearly 127,000 men (including 188,600 wounded), as well as 5,500 tanks and over 400 aircraft in the foray. Finnish losses during the Winter War numbered some 26,000 soldiers.<ref name = "suomi winter war">[https://www.militaryfactory.com/smallarms/detail.asp?smallarms_id=485 Military Factory's article on the Suomi submachine gun]</ref>


Historical facts would suggest that Suomi KP was probably one of the most successful SMG of that era, being one of the first mobile weaponry with the fully automatic firepower of a LMG and having a better performance than all of it's derivatives. Due to the high production cost and some exporting of weapon prior to the war, the Finnish Army was armed with only 4,000 units of Suomi KP when the Winter War broke out in 1939. At the time the also poorly equipped, ill mobilized Red Army never expected a light mobile weapon with a high fire power like the Suomi, resulted in heavy Red Army casualties during the Winter War.<ref name="gunwriters">[http://guns.connect.fi/gow/suomi1.html Gunwriters' Suomi KP History]</ref><ref name="wiki">[[wikipedia:Suomi KP/-31|Wikipedia entry of Suomi KP]]</ref>
The Suomi would continue to serve after the conclusion of World War 2, and remained in active service with the Finnish military well into the 1980's. Production of the Suomi would be licensed to several other countries, including Sweden, Denmark, and Switzerland.
