The Carl Gustav M45 is a series of Swedish blowback operated, automatic sub-machine-guns first produced in 1945 and adopted as the standard weapon of the Swedish Armed Forces, and also sold to Egypt, Indonesia and Ireland. The guns are chambered for the 9 mm Parabellum cartridge and have a rate of fire of 600 rounds-per-minute with a muzzle velocity of 365 meters-per-second and an effective range of 200 meters. The original M45 took a Suomi 50-round box magazine, the B variant (Carl Gustav M45B) introduced in 1948 changed the magazine for a double-stack magazine with a capacity of 36-rounds which proved so reliable it has been widely copied in other weapons. The C variant has a bayonet lug and the E variant is selective single-shot or automatic. A silenced variant was also made and used by US Special Forces in South-East Asia.

The chain gun was created to address the problem of traditional auto-cannons that if a round misfires or is defective, there isn't sufficient recoil to clear the shell and reload the gun and the gun jams. Chain guns use a separate motor to pull the ammunition belt through the gun breech. If a shell doesn't fire, the motor pulls the round out and loads a new one as though it had fired, preventing the jam which would occur otherwise. Jamming can still occur with chain guns, but is less frequent than with recoil loading automatic weapons, however the rate of fire is lower.
