The Lahti-Saloranta M/26 is a light machine gun designed by Aimo Lahti and Arvo Saloranta in 1926, capable of firing in both automatic and semi-automatic modes. It was produced with both 20-round box and 75-round drum magazines, though the Finnish Army appears to have used only the smaller box magazine.
