I didn't know Swedes used ZB vz26.I looked up Wiki-it's a bit strange that Germans sold off so many of them during war.

One learns something new everyday.

The Czechoslovakian ZB vz26, was issued to the Czechoslovakia army and used the 8x57mm S ball (~150grains) of WW1.

The ZB vz30 used the sS ball (~198grains), the German standard of WW2.

The reference is; The Bren Gun Saga By Dugelby, T. B., Book - 1999,

The kar98 shown with the muzzle brake is chambered for the 8x63mm machine gun ammunition, and has a 4 shot magazine if I remember correctly.
