The '''StG M68''', officially the '''Stormgevär Modell 1968''', is an [[Acrea|Acrean]] 6.8x43mm select-fire rifle designed by Kaalstad Vapenfabrik AB for the [[Acrean Armed Forces]]. It was designed in the 1960s in cooperation with the [[Royal Acrean Marine Corps]] as an automatic carbine to supplement the [[Stuhr StG 51|StG M51]] in Acrean service, using the new lighter intermediate 6.8x43mm cartridge. The M68 was later adopted by the RAMC in 1968, after a series of military trials of various 6.8x48mm rifle designs. During trials, the M68's handling and weight were well regarded, being substantially lighter than most contemporary combat rifles.
