| The Danuvia series of weapons aka Király, after the designer Pal Kiraly who developed them in the 1930s, used a patented two-part delayed blowback bolt. The ammunition they
used was the very powerful 9mm Mauser round. The weapons are very large resembling a carbine or light rifle rather than a submachinegun and rather resemble the Swiss
SiG MkMO sub-machine gun. About 8000 were made.
The fire selector/safety is the circular cap on the rear of the receiver which is rotated to one of three settings; 'E' for semiautomatic fire, 'S' for automatic fire and 'Z' for safe.
The magazine could be folded forward into a recess in the stock, and then a plate snapped over the magazine well.
