I need to get that book. Thank you!

EDIT: Except I cant, because just like Lärka's book, it has been sold out and they arent making reprints.

Have you contacted Parola? It's pretty exclusive release, but they still had around 120/500 remaining when I got my copy few months ago. Lärkä's book can be occasional found from online antiquariate (or huuto.net), for example: https://www.antikvaari.fi/naytatuote.asp?id=1401920. That's actually pretty good price, considering they usually go for €60-70.

We need bigger smoke trail effect !

But the trail shouldn't go on for more than the ~3 seconds the boosters are active.

And when you click it bigger, the muzzle looks like something out of a vacuum cleaner. Whatever the idea is behind that design :P

Functioned basically as a muzzle brake, minimizing muzzle flash and powder gas. You could also deploy it through the narrow view ports of the Mannerheim Line bunkers.

"A specialized bunker version was also produced in very small numbers (a total of 500 built) in 1941, the barrel shroud end of which was thinner and flattened to allow firing through the narrow ports of defensive bunkers.[5] This version had no shoulder stock and was equipped with a pistol grip."

Yeah starts to make sense when thinking about the observation domes on the Salpa-line bunkers. Can't fit any normal gun there, but this could be useful.
