Interdynamics MKS assault rifle (Sweden)

the Interdynamics MKS assault rifle (top, with buttstock unfolded) and MKS carbine (bottom, with buttstock folded)
  MKS rifle MKS carbine Caliber 5.56x45 mm Action Gas operated, rotating bolt Overall length (butt open / folded) 868 / 634 mm 751 / 517 mm Barrel length 467 mm 350 mm Weight 2,75 kg 2,36 kg Rate of fire 750 - 1100 rounds per minute Magazine capacity 30 rounds The Interdynamics AB company of Sweden attempted to enter an assault rifle market with its MKS rifle in mid-1970s. The Interdynamics MKS assault rifle was more or less conventional in respect to materials and technologies, but layout was not conventional, with box magazine serving as a pistol grip. This layout resulted in shorter overall length when compared to conventional rifles with the same barrel lengths, but seriously compromised ergonomics. Because the standard 5.56mm magazine is significantly deeper 9front to back) than a typical pistol grip, the firing hand's hold and a trigger reach were far from being comfortable. The MKS rifles never were made in any quantities and deserved its place in firearm history more as a curiosity than anything else.
