Fun fact: nearly all males in Finland go through mandatory conscript service which includes training to use this very same gun (without the folding mechanism and with full auto setting, of course). The mandatory training includes passing required tests which include tearing down the gun and rebuilding it in 30 seconds, blindfolded. I was a bit unlucky during the test day because I had to do it outdoors when it was -30 degrees Celsius outside, so it was quite hard for your fingers (some parts are small enough so you cannot keep using the winter gloves for the whole process). All the parts were obviously about -30 degrees Celsius because the gun had been outdoors with us for a couple days at that time. I cannot remember if the body was stamped or milled in the gun that I had in 1998 for my conscript service.

@dominuslogik484 Finnish and Estonian indeed have very similar sounding sounds. When a Finn hears Estonian, it sounds weird because some words sound identical to Finnish words but the meaning is different.

@dominuslogik484 I would say food was typically around 7–8 out of 10.

@dominuslogik484 I guess it depends on what you're expecting. It's definitely not haute cuisine fine dining but considering the circumstances, it was good. I don't remember skipping even a single meal during my 8 month service because the food wouldn't have been worth eating. The worst part I can remember is that the liverwurst I was offered had too hard consistency. I like the soft stuff that you can smear with a knife and army stuff was much harder so you had to eat it sliced instead. That's not something I consider awful food.
