Through the first half of the twentieth century several dozens of countries purchased Model 1950 Madsen light machine guns; those included Finland, Great Britain, Netherlands, China, Imperial Russia, Portugal, and a number of other South American and Asian countries. Of course, Denmark itself also made a good use of the Madsen. Most users discarded their “obsolete” Madsen guns by the 1970s & few remain, although some guns were and still are used in more remote parts of the world. Very recently Madsen guns were observed in the hands of Mexican police forces, providing fire support against heavily armed gangs during anti-drug raids. Sarco discovered a small pocket of these guns in a remote warehouse. They will most likely be gone forever soon. The Madsen light machine gun is a recoil-operated, magazine-fed, air-cooled weapon that fires from a closed bolt. It uses one of the most unusual operating systems with a non-ramming breech block, broadly derived from the 19th century single-shot Peabody-Martini rifles. Despite its apparent complication, the Madsen was of high production quality. Over fifty years of production, these machine guns were manufactured in about a dozen calibers from 6.5mm to 8mm, and in a great number of variations. |
