Grandfather used one in 6.5x55 KJ mm during the first day attacks in 1940 during his week of battle in Norway ,as i heard it was his main weapon he used .
Big respect to our veterans
Interesting.. is there a way for you to share some of his stories?
Gud konge fædreland
Not much , he died while i was very young ,so dont remember much else beside what at home and little neighbors said.
heard from a couple of neighbors which was there also,and in book that wrote about thst and much else. They had some Winterwar vets with them that showed them to make improvised hand grenades out of tin cans and such. And a forward raid he had been on, into the improvised timber cut down positions to see what could be found out during one night. Things happend and grenades thrown as part of it ,bits and pieces as results of germans .
It was part of covering the other valley side of road where King and Gov was moving up to from Oslo, as the encirclement was tried one had to stop the pronghorned (?? ) movement of German to prevent the relocation of King and Gov to succeed.
@@MrPh30 Thank you very much!🙂
7mm Mauser is a great cartridge. It really shook up the military world when it came out. It stung the British army badly in the Boer wars in Africa. Its also one excellent hunting cartridge for deer sized game animals and has been used with regular success on much larger animals by many skilled shooters. The old Madsen here seemed like a fun chatterbox to play with. It probably saw some exotic and interesting service locations during that era.
It stung us Americans as well in the Spanish American War (1900). It pretty much convinced us to give up on the Krag and come up with something more powerful.
I agree, it is an excellent cartridge, especially for its day. Flat shooting with modest recoil when shot from a Mauser action rifle or a Remington Rolling Block, it is always a favorite to take to the range.
Caliber also stung the Americans during the Spanish-American war
@@guaporeturns9472 Was thinking that too but neglected to write it. Was giving Teddy Roosevelt a break on that one. 😁
And Jim Corbett liked it also,but many other hunters of maneating game favored / favors it also.
@@MrPh30 yep
Fun fact: This weapon still in use in some policies stations here in Brazil, even with This gun having more than 100 years
True!!! I served in an airborne police unit, and they had one of those in the arsenal! Looked so cool, even if just for show
The Brazilian police still use it because according to them:"the Madsen penetrates any type of structure"
@@Amatsu_M1kaboshi Penetra porque foi convertida para 7,62
It was also in use by Brazilian Army. Originally in 7mm Mauser. Later in 7,62 x 51mm NATO. It has been replaced by FN MAG 58 (M240). The Army donated part of its inventory to the police.
@@davidamaral1519 But doesn't the Brazilian army and police already have FALs?
The amount of countries that used this gun at one point is astounding. Everyone from the Dutch, to the Ethiopians, to the Russians, to the Chinese, to even the Germans at one point-iirc, this was the only LMG the Germans had in WW1 until the Bergmann MG15 Na
It was also in use in Central and South America up until, last I checked, 2018. Mostly for police.
Come to think of it, the British used it too! The .303 mags look almost as absurd as the 7.62x54mmR mags. Extreme curvature.
I believe the German Stormtroops used it.
you forget the 07/12 schwarzlose mg :)
If you had told me it was designed 25 years later, I'd totally believe it!
Even more so, the original design is from 1902!
We have that in royal Thai army too we use it in Indochina war (1941)
Yeah, you invade my country and get kick back hard by our Communist.
ไม่มี เเละ ไทย ไม่เคยใช้ปืนรุ่นนี้อย่ามารั่ว

จริงดิ
U got the wrong flag probably an imaginary one
Three minutes after posting and so many comments. I really enjoy these, and apparently so does everyone else! Thank you very much, Mae. I look forward to these every week.
Funny enough, these are still used in Brazil and are a popular firearm amongst the BOPE. Googling this can lead to several photos of BOPE officers using this firearms.
I don't know the reason, but BOPE officers usually say that the worst guns of their arsenal, reliability wise, are the M4 pattern rifles, so everyone who can get their hands on a FAL or Madsen, usually does so
@@riograndedosulball248 because the M4 Pattern rifles are normally cheap or old versions like the Colt Carbine.
normally not BOPE. they are used mainly by the Miltiary Police of Rio de janeiro. they are rechambered to the 7.62x51 NATO and are popular reliability wise and for it's scary sound.
they are just kinda of an alternative to the FAL but with more ammo, better full auto and with higher weight. not to mention that 7.62x51 Madsen magazines are not easy to find
Why would the Police in Brazil still use these guns?
There won't be many situations where the Police would need these bulky light machineguns !
@@reynaldoflores4522 they are normally fighting criminals from 20 to 100 meters ranges. who are using heavy weaponry and fortified
It’s crazy how advanced this was for its time. I bet a lot of soldiers in the Great War would have rather lugged this around than the light machineguns they did have.
It's not as good as a Lewis gun or as advanced. Which was 100% the most widely fielded LMG worthy of the name.
@@zoiders It´s considerably better than the Lewis Gun. But also considerably more expensive.
@@zoiders I 100% would've carried the madsen over the lewis gun any day. Reason? Simply the weight of it, as both work just fine
@@sebastianwurtz5294 No its not. The Lewis was far simpler and the magazines were genuinely better.
@@zoiders a big unwieldy drum is better than a thinner banana mag, sure
Mae is my spirit animal
I want to be Mae when I grow up
Probably my greatest grail gun. Hope y’all enjoyed the one you guys shot.
One of my favorite LMGs.
Always fun to see Mae enjoying herself
Mae has way too much fun. Good for her.
I am repeatedly amazed at how many Madsens are still in use today, those things are fuckin' everywhere. Amazing design.
Incredible machinegun and good video!
Nice to see some of your Project Lightning footage making a reappearance!
Mae casually walking and shooting the Madsen from her hip made my day.
Fun fact: Brazilian police forces STILL use this weapon.
Yea
_*Here's a video of one being used in Rio th-cam.com/video/vJI4mDy6M1U/w-d-xo.html *_
I think mae has the best part of the job operating all of these different platforms
Always a pleasure to watch Mae blast away at stuff. Always learning too from her videos. Thanks so much for posting them.
I didn’t see the stuff tho
I saw one of these at a militaria show and being a handicapped person I promptly surprised it's owner by saying it's a Madsen machine gun (he was impressed!). Love watching Mae fire old weapons, she knows her stuff, obviously has a brilliant time and she is brilliant too. I would love to do stuff like that.
My favorite LMG, with a great Danish connection too
Hey, would you look at that! The Martini Henry grew up!
One of my local gun stores has a Madsen on a tripod sitting on the floor. Of course, it's not for sale.
The walking fire got me! Love it!
Me too, Mae is a total bad ass. When sides are chosen up, I hope I’m on Mae’s side.
The OG top-mounted magazine LMG.
No meu país, Brasil, ainda usam a Madsen na Polícia em calibre 7.62.
I said something about this, too. I've seen pictures of it. Pretty cool, actually.
(English translation for OP's post: "In my country, Brazil, they still use Madsen in the Police in caliber 7.62.")
só a polícia do RJ usa essa velharia, de outros estados é armamento modernizado
Light enough for Ian to run with in a match! An oldie but a goodie on Forgotten Weapons.
They weren't exported wildly during the war due to the Danish neutrality policy. I believe a shipment was seized during transit in Germany and used by them, but that's about it I think? Saw wide export afterwards though, I saw one on a tripod in its own glass exhibition at the military museum in Beijing. It was captured by the Chinese Red Army from the Nationalists, so that one got around lol
You are correct. The shipment was intended for Bulgaria.
Austria-Hungary used as many Madsens as they could get-around 700 I believe(?)
Quit incredible for its time and 'if' adopted by one of the major powers might have been a game changer
What a beast of a gun
They missed the boat to use in WWI, as a light support weapon. Mae, you look like you are having too much fun performing walking fire with that weapon! Stop it, you are making us envious!
Heck, "they" (the US Army) would have been better off with a Madsen instead of the lumps of steel called a BAR or the .30 Caliber 1919 Machinegun.
@@Easy-Eight
Both the bar and 1919 were very effective
The bar was a bit outdated
But it still functioned in its intended role
the 1919 was just great overall
My new favorite channel! Your smile is contagious Mae! Keep up The Lord's work!
Wooo!!!
:3
Funny how people outside of Denmark probably know more about the Madsen rifles than the danish themselves.
as an avid gun enthusiast and a Dane, i know also the Madsen LMG quiet well!
@@kristianchristensen2254 .. I think you are one of the few 😊
@@PpAirO5 True!
Here in Brazil, the Rio de Janeiro's police has one of this still in operation.
Quite a piece.
You can tell it was fun to shoot when Mae shows off that World Class Grin at the end.
Good job Mae
Love your videos. No useless crap. Just direct to the point.
This was used in the defense of Denmark on the 9th of april 1940. Even if it wasnt alot of resistance that the underfunded danish army could do, they did mange to damage some panzer I and II with this LMG.
The D in Madsen is pretty much silent, just btw.
I LOVE THAT SMILE
I wish they would show the targets like in the long format videos, Mae is an excellent markswoman.
I believe that the Germans in WW1 had 'Musketen' battalions, who were equipped with Madsens captured en masse from the Russians.
The Danish film 'Reptilicus' - supposedly a horror film - also has more Madsens being used than you ever knew existed.
THANKS Mae !!!
It's crazy that alongside many XX century weapons, it was used by different police and army units in more modern times.
If it's still effective and reliable, them better that nothing.
Helps that it's been paid for.
Love these little shows
Heard a story from my dad during his time while enlisted, where they were shooting "Lady Madsen" as they called her, and naturally, being young men at the time, they had the biggest guy there pick it up, had another guy supporting him, and fired the thing full auto from a standing position.
Det blev kaldt jomfru Madsen
@@niclasendk Han brugte Fru Madsen, men jeg har godt hørt jomfru Madsen.
Walking fire!!
I really love these videos
Wonderful video. Thank you
A fine min' o' Mas'n
Excellent video
That smile at the end. That looked like a lot of fun to shoot.
A Madsen ainda é muito utilizada pela Policia do Rio de Janeiro aqui no Brasil nas operações contra o tráfico, ela é bem famosa.
The Military Police of Rio de Janeiro still use this light SMG in the Drug Wars
Yay a min of Mae ❤
The Rio de Janeiro state police in
Brazil still uses this weapon that is over 100 years old, you don't see many units, but they exist.
They were converted to support the 7.62 caliber.
It is contrasting to see police officers carrying weapons with modern platforms and in the middle of them to see a Madsen. But why are weapons of this type still used so long after? The answer is: The models that came here to Brazil are extremely reliable
PMRJ has already started the replacement process
Does it get faster, the harder you pull the trigger?
I find it amusing that the Germans used this in World War 1
(I mean by picturing them wearing their pickelhaube while firing this amazing light machine gun)
Occasionally get to play with a 30-06 one of these. Lotta fun if a bit finicky.
At least a few years back, the brazilian police was still using those in Favela fights against gangs. Not sure which caliber though
Models up to 1936 were in 7mm Mauser, and the model 1946 was in 30.06, so either one.
I'd expect .30-06.
@@wylandnares8642 and you can change calibers very easily with the Madsen.
7.62 NATO. Still in service.
That little “Woo!” at the end.
Looks weigh ahead of its time , you look pretty happy with it.
The grin on Mae's face :)
Imagine if someone had enough money to arm whole cavalry regiment with those.
"Ha, cavalry is useless in trench warfare, you can't do anything, you fools! Wait, why are they dismounting?"
That’s what the Russian cavalry did in 1905 against the Japanese
From what I learned. The II Seebattalion, Anton Company, 1. Zug. Used the Madsen LMG
Good revue Mae, thanks'.
Holy Cow! The mags almost too heavy, until I saw you carrying it! Guess that's the Southern Gal!!
Chilean mauser next PLEASEEEEE
That magazine is just hanging on for dear life!
Crazy this wasn't wildly successful
Denmark was neutral during WW1 and didn’t really ship these LMGs. Although it did inspire many future LMGs such as the Bren
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD
I grew up hunting with a
7×57 Mauser, it was the most accurate rifle I have ever shot. Dropped an Elk with it. Never knew it was used in a machine gun capacity.
Super cool
"Going from Mae to Mad is just a letter away" (proceeds to walk-fire in the most ominous way)
Probably the inspiration for the Czech Bren gun.
You mean the ZB VZ. 26 as the "Czech Bren Gun"
Interesting note: Brazilian police were using these as recently as the 2010's.
Спасибо,Мэй.👍👏👏👏
Very cool
using this one on battlefield 1 lately
The perils of being ahead of the curve.
It still in service for the Brazilian police in Rio
El ejército Argentino contó con algunas de estas nobles unidades en un tiempo. Muy buenas y robustas.
The worlds very first LMG ever created in history of firearms.
This is surprisingly advanced looking compared to Lewis, MG08/15 or the Chauchat. Almost like it was designed in the 1920s.
Neat video. Definitely a weapon ahead of it's time.
Mae...youre beautiful! A sunshine on a rainy day!
Nice!
This weapon is still used today by the Brazilian military police, as it is a machine gun that uses a battle cartridge, the shot has a very intimidating sound.
Mae was having (too much?) fun!
How do you get all these cool weapons to shoot??? Most of these I've only seen in books!
“Ammunition may vary, batteries not included…”
I used to think that the Madsen was just a Maxim but with a portable magazine lol
She made it look fun to shoot.
The Madsen was also used by the Royal Netherlands East Indies Army. Best wishes from Amsterdam.
I'm putting Mae on my zombie apocalypse tEAM
Impressive.
Mae is special. So competent and cute too. Imagine having her on your homestead wagon train in the wild west. She would do to ride the river with. Probably cooks over an open fire just as easy as she lays down effective cover fire. Keep these videos coming.
She checks her sources, she checks her breech, she checks her targets. No matter what kind of SHTF situation you could be in, she'd be great to have in your corner.
DIVINA!!!
