Manufacture and Use
The Swedish armed forces have phased out the Kpist m/45 submachine gun from inventory, officially declaring it obsolete.
In addition to Sweden, several other countries have used and/or produced the weapon. The Irish Army used the Carl Gustav M/45 during the Congo Crisis in the 1960s, during the Lebanese Civil War in the 1970s and during The Troubles. It was replaced in the Irish Army's inventory by the Steyr AUG, a compact assault rifle comparable in size to some submachine guns. The m/45 SMG has also been used by Egypt, Indonesia and the United States, with versions of the weapon being produced in Egypt and the U.S.
The Carl Gustav M/45 was replaced in the Swedish armed forces during the mid 1990s with the AK 4 and AK 5.

Famous quotes containing the words manufacture and and/or manufacture:
“I believe that the miseries consequent on the manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquors are so great as imperiously to command the attention of all dedicated lives; and that while the abolition of American slavery was numerically first, the abolition of the liquor traffic is not morally second.”
—Elizabeth Stuart Phelps (1844–1911)
“The profession of magician, is one of the most perilous and arduous specialisations of the imagination. On the one hand there is the hostility of God and the police to be guarded against; on the other it is as difficult as music, as deep as poetry, as ingenious as stage-craft, as nervous as the manufacture of high explosives, and as delicate as the trade in narcotics.”
—William Bolitho (1890–1930)
