Pál Király
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pál Király is an Hungarian engineer and weapons designer.
[edit] Work & Designs
He is best known for design of the lever-delayed blowback system. He invented the Danuvia 39M and improved it into the Danuvia 43M Submachine gun. After he moved to the Dominican republic, he designed the .30 Kiraly-Cristobal carbine, which was essentially a copy of his earlier work, specifically the 44M (an improved 43M). He made two more Cristobal carbine versions, the M2 en M3. He patented the latter in 1961 as a competitor to the Belgian FN FAL[1].
[edit] Personal life
He moved to the Dominican Republic as an expatriate in 1948.
