It was produced by the Danish company Dansk Industri Syndikat of Copenhagen, Denmark.

The M/46 and M/50 share a unique design: the firearm is stamped from two pieces of sheet metal which are shaped with an integral rear pistol grip and magazine housing.

The firearm is held together with a barrel locking nut which is threaded onto the fore section of the two receiver halves.

The pistol grip is hollow, providing storage space for a magazine loading tool.

To fire the M/50 the operator must grip the magazine housing and hold down the safety lever.
