The Wake-up Call is on........
Right offhand, I can't think of any...certainly nothing in the class of the MP5. A cursory Google search for 'Norwegian firearms' brings hits mainly pertaining to older hunting and military rifles.
Perhaps other Freepers can provide a more detailed answer.
VAPENSMIA NM149S
Bolt Action Rifle
7.62 x 51 mm NATO
Norway might be up to manufacturing spears; they hadn't gotten that far when WW-II broke out.
Let's hope that they do indeed wake to the call :-)
Gee, I wonder if the CRIME WAVE that the Norwegian police are experiencing might have anything to do with the NEW, SISSY EU BORDER LAWS????
UK invaded by crime mobs (New, lax EU border regulations blamed)

Norway signs UN protocol on firearms
The Government decided today that Norway will sign the UN Protocol of 31 May 2001 against the Illicit Manufacturing and Trafficking in Firearms, Their Parts and Components and Ammunition.
I think the only firearm of import that came out of that area of the world was the Krag, which Teddy Roodeveldt made famous by carrying up San Jaun hill. That would be an 1895 design, bolt action chambered in 30-40.
But . . . . but . . . . but aren't the Norwegians morally superior to the US because they don't have any crime; they are a happy nation who only worry about trolls and US presidents giving Satanic hand gestures?
And I thought studies show that carrying a gun makes you more likely to shoot yourself or a family member than a criminal! Isn't that what libs always tell us?
Norway is superior in one respect: it allows civilians to purchase and use suppressors ("silencers") on their firearms.
Trondheim [Trondheimfjord Intermunicipal Harbour, TIH for the navigator types aboard] is a fairly major shipping and passenger cruise liner centre [it was a German U-boat base during WWII, accordingly oft-bombed by the Allies, and I wouldn't be a bit suprised if its dock district is a good bit roughrt than those of Bergen or Oslo. And those international passengers aboard the Norwegian cruise liners make a tempting terrorist target.
Absolutely. From the old days when Kongsberg Vaapenfabrik turned out Ole Krag's turnbolt repeating rifle and a superb copy of the US M1911 Colt .45 autopistol, to todays AK4 version of the H&K line of rifles, and bigger and better toys such as the 40mm Bofers antiaircraft gun still in service in a twin-mounting aboard some USAF AC130 Spectre gunships, the Swedish S-tank and the Penguin Anti-Ship Missile, they've got a fine line of National Defense goodies.
But I hold two particular favourites in particularly high regard:
The Swedish Kp45 *Swedish K* submachinegun, and the 84mm M2 *Charlie-Gee* antitank recoilless rifle:

Short answer? No.
You are much too soft on traffic violators.
