The BKsP m/34 (Borund Kulspurztna Pulmoyt mond 1934, "Heavy Machinegun model 1934") is a Dnieguan General Purpose, recoil operated, air cooled Machine Gun developed by Husqvarna Weapons for the Dnieguan Armed Forces in the 1930s. Generally considered one of the words first true General-Purpose machine guns, it was arguable the most advaned at the time of its introduction, and earned a reputation as a fearsome Machine gun. Its high rate of fire, combined with its excellent accuracy and unrivaled mobility, was unmatched by most any existing design. The weapon entered service in 1934 and by 1936 could be found in most every infantry companies assets.
The BKsP remained in widespread service until being fully replaced by a variety of weapons in the 60s and 70s; though it would remain in regular use until the early 1980s in Dniegua. It is still found as an armament subsystem in Dnieguan helicopters; the effective hitting power of the 7.5x65mm ammunition, combined with its high rate of fire, makes it more desirable than the Ksp-58 in this role.
