Description

Write an introduction to the article in 2-3 small paragraphs. Briefly tell us about the history of the development and combat using the weaponry and also about its features. Compile a list of air, ground, or naval vehicles that feature this weapon system in the game.

Vehicles equipped with this weapon

General info

Tell us about the tactical and technical characteristics of the cannon or machine gun.

Available ammunition

Describe the shells that are available for the weapon and their features and purpose. If it concerns autocannons or machine guns, write about different ammo belts and what is inside (which types of shells).

Comparison with analogues

Give a comparative description of cannons/machine guns that have firepower equal to this weapon.

Usage in battles

The Ksp m/36 is to be used against very light armored targets such as planes and light tanks, its is very effective against said targets due to its API-T(Armor-piercing incendiary tracer bullet)which is rarely seen in tank mgs. This makes the Ksp m/36 a sort of AA mg which can be used to shoot down low flying planes, and the incendiary creates shrapnel if used against a light tank.

Pros and cons

Summarise and briefly evaluate the weaponry in terms of its characteristics and combat effectiveness. Mark pros and cons as a list.

Pros:

  • On most tanks, the roof mounted ksp m/36 can turn 360 degrees horizontally and has around 50-70 degrees of elevation
  • Has API-T round in ammo belt
  • High ammo count

Cons:

  • Low caliber mg

History

Examine the history of the creation and combat usage of the weapon in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the weapon and adding a block "/History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Weapon-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref></ref>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <references />.

Media

An excellent addition to the article would be a video guide, as well as screenshots from the game and photos.
