Lahti-Saloranta M/26
(alternatively
LS/26
) is a light machine gun that was developed by Aimo Lahti and Arvo Saloranta in 1926. The weapon was fireable in both fully automatic and semi-automatic modes. Both 75-round box and drum magazines were produced, but the Finnish Army appears to have only used the smaller 20-round magazine.
In the Winter War, each platoon had two squads, which provided covering fire for two dozen rifle squads. Each squad had one M/26 gunner, one assistant and the rest of the men with rifles. Soldiers discovered that it jams when the magazine is loaded to capacity. Often they would remove a round from the magazine and hope the officer wouldn't check it.
History[edit]
The M/26 won a Finnish Army competition in 1925, where it was chosen as the army's main light machine gun. Production began in 1927 at the State Rifle Factory Valtion kivääritehdas (VKT) and continued until 1942. During this time, more than 5,000 weapons were produced. China also placed an order for 30,000 M/26 chambered in 7.92×57mm Mauser in 1937, but only 1,200 of these weapons were actually delivered due to Japanese diplomatic pressure.

Design[edit]
On the battlefield, the Lahti-Saloranta M/26 proved to be heavy, difficult to clean due to its 188 gun parts and insufficient magazine capacity. He was nicknamed Kootut virheet
, "miscellaneous errors".
On the other hand, experienced gunners liked the exceptional accuracy of the weapon and took full advantage of the weapon's advantages, and thanks to the lubricant adapted to winter conditions, it proved to be very reliable. [ citation needed

Due to the problems Finnish forces first encountered, they often preferred the Degtyarev light machine gun when thousands of them were captured by Soviet forces and used against their former owners. In total, in the summer of 1944 there were only 3,400 M/26 at the front against more than 9,000 Degtyarevs. [ citation needed

An excerpt characterizing the Lahti-Saloranta M-26
After his explanation with his wife, Pierre went to St. Petersburg. In Torzhok there were no horses at the station, or the caretaker did not want them. Pierre had to wait. Without undressing, he lay down on a leather sofa in front of a round table, put his big feet in warm boots on this table and thought. – Will you order the suitcases to be brought in? Make the bed, would you like some tea? – asked the valet. Pierre did not answer because he did not hear or see anything. He began to think at the last station and continued to think about the same thing - about something so important that he did not pay any attention to what was happening around him. Not only was he not interested in the fact that he would arrive in St. Petersburg later or earlier, or whether he would or would not have a place to rest at this station, but it was still in comparison with the thoughts that occupied him now whether he would stay for a few days. hours or a lifetime at this station. The caretaker, the caretaker, the valet, the woman with Torzhkov sewing came into the room, offering their services. Pierre, without changing his position with his legs raised, looked at them through his glasses, and did not understand what they could need and how they could all live without resolving the questions that occupied him. And he was preoccupied with the same questions from the very day he returned from Sokolniki after the duel and spent the first, painful, sleepless night; only now, in the solitude of the journey, did they take possession of him with special power. No matter what he started to think about, he returned to the same questions that he could not solve, and could not stop asking himself. It was as if the main screw on which his whole life was held had turned in his head. The screw did not go in further, did not go out, but spun, not grabbing anything, still on the same groove, and it was impossible to stop turning it. The caretaker came in and humbly began to ask His Excellency to wait only two hours, after which he would give courier for His Excellency (what will happen, will happen). The caretaker was obviously lying and only wanted to get extra money from the passerby. “Was it bad or good?” Pierre asked himself. “For me it’s good, for another person passing through it’s bad, but for him it’s inevitable, because he has nothing to eat: he said that an officer beat him for this. And the officer nailed him because he needed to go faster. And I shot at Dolokhov because I considered myself insulted, and Louis XVI was executed because he was considered a criminal, and a year later they killed those who executed him, also for something. What's wrong? What well? What should you love, what should you hate? Why live, and what am I? What is life, what is death? What force controls everything?” he asked himself. And there was no answer to any of these questions, except one, not a logical answer, not to these questions at all. The answer was: “If you die, everything will end. You’ll die and find out everything, or you’ll stop asking.” But it was also scary to die. The Torzhkov merchant offered her goods in a shrill voice, especially goat shoes. “I have hundreds of rubles that I have nowhere to put, and she stands in a torn fur coat and timidly looks at me,” thought Pierre. And why is this money needed? Can this money add exactly one hair to her happiness, peace of mind? Could anything in the world make her and me less susceptible to evil and death? Death, which will end everything and which should come today or tomorrow, is still in a moment, in comparison with eternity.” And he again pressed the screw that was not gripping anything, and the screw still turned in the same place. His servant handed him a book of the novel in letters to m m e Suza, cut in half. [Madame Suza.] He began to read about the suffering and virtuous struggle of some Amelie de Mansfeld. [Amalia Mansfeld] “And why did she fight against her seducer,” he thought, “when she loved him? God could not put into her soul aspirations that were contrary to His will. My ex-wife didn't fight and maybe she was right. Nothing has been found, Pierre told himself again, nothing has been invented. We can only know that we know nothing. And this is the highest degree of human wisdom."
