A somewhat interesting and rarely spoken of or seen weapon---the Finnish Jatimatic. And with an after-market side-folding stock fitted to it, as well.
The weapon is designed at an upward angle---the bolt, under recoil, moves back and up, which serves to moderate recoil and muzzle climb, which theoretically makes the weapon easier to handle. The angled design also results in the pistol grip ending up more in line with the barrel axis, hopefully further reducing recoil and muzzle climb. Considering it was designed with no stock in mind, to be used in hand only, it needed all the help it could get... You cock it using the vertical foregrip, which is folding, and which is also the safety. It has no fire select mechanism, but instead has a progressive trigger...which is a nasty thing.
