As a Dane, i am so thankful you used footage from the 9 April movie. It has become a danish classic and great piece of history the country over. Thank you Johnny 🫡
@cinematicsunproductions7748 maybe I'm crazy or missing a satirical point, but turning a metaphor for the horror of nuclear weapons into a googly eyed single father missed the original point.
Last clip we have of it being used in Brazil is ~5 years old. If you ever see police with this weapon, please take a picture and post it to the RUclips channel Forgotten Weapons. Thank you.
Im danish and i work at bunker museum in silkeborg. In the museum we have a Madsen machine gun. There's a lot of people coming to the museum both from Denmark and from all over the world surprisingly. I often tell them about the madsen we have and they are very impressed by it. Many elderly people come to the museum and when they see the Madsen they often yell "that's the Madsen". It truly is a danish masterpiece of a gun. keep up the good work with the videos Johnny 🤟
Reptilicus actually scared the shit out of me as a kid just due to the regeneration aspect. The fact just a piece of it's tail could grow into an entire monster freaked me out, kinda like The Blob where you just have no means to stop it.
The Dane's know how to make a great and beloved LMG. Loved this gun in BF1 and it was one of my most used LMGs in the game. Thank you Johnny for covering such an iconic and legendary gun, and one I consider one of my most favorite LMGs in history alongside the M1919, Lewis Gun, and MG08.
I love BF1 but i do wish they had focused on bolt action rifles more. I believe they had a "realistic" mode for a short time where you had to use a rifle and it greatly limited submachineguns. It was WW1, not everyone was running around with a 30+ round carrying magazine
@@yoshilovesyoshi it's interesting how despite so much advancement, certain well designed elements have taken on a legendary status and are still used today, or their descendants
When you consider weapons like the Chauchat came almost two decades later and had much more troubled history, it pays to be not just the first, but also good. And as others have pointed, the weapon is still in active service with the Brazilian police as it was readily available and was chambered in the 7.62 NATO cartridge, offering them good firepower. 120+ years of service and still ticking.
Intersting Fact The Madsen design was used as a basis for an upscaled version as an autocannon. Most famously, one Madsen cannon was credited for taking down two Panzer 1 tanks during the invasion of Denmark.
DISA (commonly known as the rifle syndicate) used its success in the defense as a big selling point when they tried selling the 20mm guns to Germany, pointing out that if it was good enough to defeat the German armour then surely it was good enough to be used by German forces too. Interestingly they actually received little to no consequences for that act of collaboration unless you count the bombing by underground resistance forces.
The Madsen is still used today by Brazilian SWAT/assault cops during clearing operations in Rio's favela ghettos. They've shortened the barrel and added other things to shoulder-fire it as a LMG. I couldn't find any instances of MOVIE use of this, however, such as in the Tropa De Elite series. (probably too hard to acquire a prop gun just for filming)
good idea to wet the grass before firing as smoke and flame could give away your position, while I've never seen it done like that before I have also never seen a machine gunner firing with the barrel so low to the ground.
One of those weapons which does not usually see the limelight but nevertheless has its place in history. It is, though, somewhat ironic that the Danes got so little combat use out of it compared to other countries who used it.
Didn’t know about this MG. Great introduction to it. Nicely done. Your channel fills a unique space in the military hardware and film segment of YT. Keep up the great work, Johnny!
The Madsen and its contemporary 1889 Krag-Jørgensen rifle are two often forgotten pieces of Danish firearms history that I absolutely love, so happy to see you've covered both of them. The Madsen LMG had a few pretty interesting accessories for its Danish use too, such as the leather bags and mounting straps used to carry it and several magazines on a bicycle.
@@JohnnyJohnsonEsq Very cool - Love seeing old doctrine videos where they try and think of every conceivable event to occur during operation, great video mate.
To this day, the Madsen LMG is still in use, Particularly in Brazil, their are some Swat Members in the Brazilian Law Enforcement that are Using this LMG as their Main weapon
Come for the Bren with the oversized tripod, stay for the weird wormsnake kaiju that makes me wanna rewatch the Gamera trilogy if not see Godzilla Minus One to compensate.
My grandfather used the Madsen during a two day battle in Norway 1940, both in static defense / ambush and in moving forward to the enemy ditches under fire giving cover. When they came there under the raid,they had home made handgrenades that Finland Veterans had made with them . Amd they threw them into the defensive positions seeings bits and pieces flying .
I have long considered the Madsen uniquely interesting and have poured over many videos and animations, produced by the likes of C&Rsenal, Forgotten Weapons and NobleEmpire, (which I think I recognised in this vid). It's interesting to note that the Madsen magazine is single stacked and has a metal tab on it that stops it from emptying on it's own. I wouldn't call the barrel 'quick' or 'easy' to change though.
Some models/calibers used a double-stack magazine with a one-side taper down to single position feed, and there were (admittedly rare) belt-fed aircraft models.
What’s going on at 02:05? The assistant gunner uses a spade to dig out a spot for the monopod, which I understand. After that, though, he pours water into the soil ahead of the muzzle. What does that accomplish?
If anyone could answer why is there a gun at 2:07 pouring a liquid on the grass. I would assume it might be to make the grass not get in the way of viewing but wouldn’t it also kick up sloughs of grass and water. Never seen this as a standard practice in any other military.
They're trying to keep the grass from catching on fire from the muzzle blast, plus water spray doesn't give your position away at 2000 meters the way a cloud of dry dust getting kicked up does.
Fun fact, the Brazilian police used Madsens (rechambered from 7mm Mauser to 7.62 NATO) until like 2017 in an official capacity, technically making it the longest-serving LMG ever. Even if not, it was one of the most used in history.
Think to yourself "hmm how many weapons like this have I seen?" The answer is probably many. I think this was a highly influential weapon and other countries bought them, or produced it under licence
2:07 Interesting bit of the training footage there. Wetting the ground in front of the muzzle as to eliminate or at the very least minimize the amount of dust kicked up by firing the gun.
Really good video Johnny and also other topics to try since there's a lot look into AK-47 and it's variants, RPG-7, T-34 if it isn't there yet, Soviet jets like the MIG, T-54/55 tanks and who knows what others since these days there's so many.
Volksgrenadier divisions who were formed in Denmark and Norway in 1944 were issued with Madsen machine guns from local stocks before they were send to the western front. There are several Batte Of The Bulge musea where you can see this machine gun.
Reptilicus and the Madsen for the win! Fun facts: It was popular with the Chinese such that it was bootleg copied and sold as the "Rex" or "Rexer" to various Chinese warlords during the 1920s, and soldiered on into the Second Sino-Japanese War through to the end of the Chinese Civil War and beyond. The Madsen is still in service with some Brazilian police units today. Not bad for an antique weapon. 😎
Great review!! I also appreciated the use of the REPTILIUS clip , i always thought they were firing British bren guns , who knew!! Thanks again for this upload 😂😂😂
Just a little detail here... the correct pronunciation is simply "Massen" since the d is silent. Also, fun to see weapon designs from my home country. I used the Madsen quite a lot in Medal of Honor: Rising Sun as a kid.
The first time I ever saw this gun was in Medal of Honor Rising Sun, and you didn't get to use it until the final mission in the game, and you could only get it in the single player campaign.
If you aim with both eyes open, theoretically, you should be able to see "around" the magazine. 4:25 Also easier to load from the prone position, and you don't have to settle for an overly dinky mag.

I have not seen a frame of the movie Reptilica in decades. Very informative but you also hit a huge nostalgia factor.
Perfect! That's what I'm going for.
Saw it when it first came out. Then some years later. Wish the Danish version was available on CDC/Bluray,
It was featured on the most recent Mystery Science Theater 3000 reboot. I don't know if that helps or hurts if you like the movie.
If you look closely you can see the wires used to move Reptilicus around
@@FP194 Yep. And a hand puppet was used for close ups.
Old monster movies:
Japan - guys in rubber suits
US - stop motion miniatures
Denmark - puppets on strings.😅
Now they all use CGI. Ray Harryhausen was the best for special effects. And a guy clumping around in a Kaiju suit does have a certain charm to it.

For what its worth, none of the other weapons they tried worked on Reptilicus either. Only the flamethrower did any major damage
ive never seen that movie. did the monster win?
@vsvnrg3263 no, they end up firing a rocket with anesthetic into the mouth of Reptilicus which caused it to die from its heart stopping

"Knew" Not anymore 😞
merry easter johnny
Oddly enough it’s designed is an early version of the Bren and type 96 and 99 lmg
Very strange weapon, especially the ammunition system
Denmark: "What can you make it do?"
Madsen: "Yes."
Volksgrenadier divisions who were formed in Denmark and Norway in 1944 were issued with Madsen machine guns from local stocks before they were send to the western front. There are several Batte Of The Bulge musea where you can see this machine gun.
Some reason I keep confusing the madsen with the Bren gun and vice versa because of the slopped magazine
Bren is da fuq bollox👍
Strong work brother man 💪🔥👍🍿🎥
Reptilicus!!!! The proudest moment of Danish film industry.
The HORROR! THE horror i say 🤣
Johnny, can you talk about the Czechoslovakian ZB 26 light machine gun? It is a very classic machine gun as well.
Reptilicus and the Madsen for the win! Fun facts: It was popular with the Chinese such that it was bootleg copied and sold as the "Rex" or "Rexer" to various Chinese warlords during the 1920s, and soldiered on into the Second Sino-Japanese War through to the end of the Chinese Civil War and beyond. The Madsen is still in service with some Brazilian police units today. Not bad for an antique weapon. 😎
At 2:07 why does the support gunner pour water Infront of the gun?, is it to reduce dust/smoke from rising? Cheers to anyone who answers.
You got the answer correct. And to prevent the grass from setting fire in front of the gun as well.
Very informative video! 🔥
Great review!! I also appreciated the use of the REPTILIUS clip , i always thought they were firing British bren guns , who knew!! Thanks again for this upload 😂😂😂

Im danish and im happy u maid an video on this MG and i didnt know it was danish😂
2:00 I've never seen soldiers do that before.
Well..!!.. that was certainly interesting...another nugget unearthed by our miner 49r..well done, Johnny...E..
Clicked because I saw Reptilicus tbh
The Madden was largely ineffective against Reptiligus.
2:03 Is he...watering the lawn? Or trying to keep the grass from catching fire?
Keeping the dust down, in order to hide the possision.
I think I have watched only April 9th from mentioned above movies.
I carried the M249 SAW during Desert Shied and Storm. How about a video on that?
Now that I get a good look at that model, the thing looks like a Chinese type 9 if it was stretched out in a photo editor
I saw this on MST3K
Mr. J, I enjoy your content. I love the awful jokes more. Please keep 'em coming.
No wonder that Bren on bf1 looked funny lol, (love the puns man)
I swear, I stay with the whole video just so I can see what kind of cheesy pun you have at the end. It makes it all worthwhile.😅🤣🙄
I’m going to be honest, I’ve never heard of one and I’m no noob when it comes to guns.
2:07 Why does the gunner (or assistant gunner) put what looks like water in front of the gun?
Those bony scales are like armor plate!
The first time I ever saw this gun was in Medal of Honor Rising Sun, and you didn't get to use it until the final mission in the game, and you could only get it in the single player campaign.
As a remember that was a Japanese type99.
this machine gun was used by the salvadorean Army during the 100 hours war with Honduras in 1969
That's mad, son.
If you aim with both eyes open, theoretically, you should be able to see "around" the magazine.
4:25 Also easier to load from the prone position, and you don't have to settle for an overly dinky mag.
Im sure it shows up in the hands of a few of the pirates in "porco rosso"
Helluva design
Brazilian counter gang units were using them in a clip I saw recently , don’t know if they still do
At 2:05 why was the ground in front of the muzzle doused with water?
keep dust down and to prevent the grass from catching fire and giving away the position
