The Ksp m/36 inside of the Strv m/41 S-II machine gunner area

Description

Write an introduction to the article in 2-3 small paragraphs. Briefly tell us about the history of the development and combat using the weaponry and also about its features. Compile a list of air, ground, or naval vehicles that feature this weapon system in the game.

General info

Tell us about the tactical and technical characteristics of the cannon or machine gun.

Available ammunition

The only available ammunition belt contains a cycle of 3 rounds, API-T, AP, and IT. The API-T is very effective against aircraft and light tanks.

Comparison with analogues

Give a comparative description of cannons/machine guns that have firepower equal to this weapon.

Usage in battles

The Ksp m/36 may be used in an anti-aircraft and or a anti-personnel role. If used in a anti-aircraft role, you will find that the 8 mm APIT round (armour-piercing incendiary tracer) reliable against low-flying aircraft. If used in a anti-armour role you Its recommended to target very lightly-armoured targets and open-topped vehicles.

Pros and cons

Summarise and briefly evaluate the weaponry in terms of its characteristics and combat effectiveness. Mark pros and cons as a list.

Pros:

  • AP rounds have decent penetration for a rifle-calibre machine gun
  • APIT rounds often set aircraft on fire if hit in the fuel tank or engine
  • Good rate of fire
  • Very effective against low-tier aircraft (biplanes)

Cons:

  • Penetration values fall dramatically past 300 m
  • mediocre bullet velocity makes hitting aircraft difficult
  • Low damage output

History

Examine the history of the creation and combat usage of the weapon in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the weapon and adding a block "/History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Weapon-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref></ref>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <references />.
