The Hungarian Fegyver és Gépgyár (Weapons and Machinery Factory) was famous for two things:

  1. Making 70-80 percent of all Hungarian gas heating tech until they forgot to adjust to newer tech like condensational gas furnaces.
  2. Officially licensed AKM clones, one modified to have a shorter barrel for tank crew.
