    Since the gun was so popular, I'm pretty sure the Madsen inspired the British Bren MG and the Japanese Type-99 MG, both used in WWII.

    • @JustSomeGuy489
      @JustSomeGuy489 7 лет назад +13

      The only real similarity is the magazine placement, The two weapons use completely different repeating mechanisms to load new cartridges, Gas operated systems are a whole different world then recoil operated systems.

      Weehoo 2 they use it to attack fortified criminal positions. If you google "favela", you'll see that it's a very intense urban combat enviroment that demand a lot of firepower. Plus, when criminals have LMGs, police brings them up too. After all, equal or superior firepower help a lot in winning a firefight.

    The Madsen was also made in a 20mm and 23mm versions, which was the main mobile antitank weapon during the 2. WW in denmark. It was mounted on motorcycle sidecars.

    @spartanB0292 7 лет назад +22

    Honestly I hate the new support weapons. I was a very support-heavy guy because of the tap fire beasts that were the BF4 lmgs.
    Now with these weapons I can get two headshot hit markers with a couple more regular hitmarkers and the guy just waltzes away. You need a huge accuracy buff or something when crouching, or I think supports will soon die off.

    • @Amish_Avenger
      @Amish_Avenger 7 лет назад

      spartanB0292 they did get an accuracy buff.
      I just went 70-30 in my last match, post patch. they've almost buffed them too much to be honest.

    • @frankmunster6483
      @frankmunster6483 7 лет назад +3

      They just need a damage buff thats all,
      accuracy is ok but they do too less damage.

      1. Use a bipod
      2. Find a spot where you arent instantly going to get spotted
      3. Go to town
      4. Move, repeat steps 2-4.

    • @Amish_Avenger
      @Amish_Avenger 7 лет назад

      Frank Münster again, since the patch, haven't noticed an issue. I was going toe to toe with assault players in 1v1 matches, using the mg 15. it was amazing.
      Try bringing her sensitivity down, it might help.

  • @gunnerthedenmark
    @gunnerthedenmark 6 лет назад

    my grandad used to be in the Danish national guard (home guard) as a LMG gunner, used to have his Madsen LMG standing in his living room back in the 70,s - 80,s the weapon actually saw service here in the national guard to around 1985, but that was because if a member of a unit back then had a gun he favored that were put out of use for new recruits, he could still keep the weapon because it were the weapon he were best suited to use.

    • @TheHandgunhero
      @TheHandgunhero 7 лет назад +1

      Gamez Trickz Benet Mercies were horrid. But they won French Favour and the Americans stupidly adopted it over the Lewis Gun in 1909 to replace the M1895 Browning guns because William Crozier, who ran the US Ordnance Department had a huge personal beef with Isaac Newton Lewis. They however used a flimsy steel 30 round clip that flops around and gets dirty easily, had a scrappy gas system and had a terrible bolt handle. The French began replacing it with the Chauchat in 1915 and the Americans first replaced it with the Chauchat in 1918, and then that was replaced with the BAR in late 1918 once production kicked up, as the USA had very few machine guns in WW1 - in fact they were the worst equipped and least advanced army in WW1 I'd argue, they had to rely heavily on French and British designs because they couldn't manufacture their own.

  • @Eganator
    @Eganator 7 лет назад

    Great video again Westie! Learnt a lot, can't believe the life time of that gun has lasted. Most people don't even get that old. And it's rather incredible that it's been used for so long and not really had a successor or a competitor that has beaten it?

    • @TheHandgunhero
      @TheHandgunhero 7 лет назад

      Eganator2000 Dude every light machine gun from 1920 onwards bests it, it just is that it does the job well enough that some people couldn't be arsed to spend some money upgrading their equipment. When it's used these days, it's usually because it is from captured enemy stocks, not because it is officially in adopted use or ordered. It's the same reason so many people still use AKMs despite more inferior guns like the AK-74M, AK-107, AEK-971 etc all being out there. If it ain't broke, no point spending money fixing it is the argument.
      But the Madsen was pretty much obsolete by the 30's. Better and cheaper mag fed LMGs were around like the ZB-26 and its variants, and belt fed GPMGs like the MG34.

    I know it technically isn't a primary weapon but could you do the T-Gewehr Anti Tank rifle from the Tank Hunter kit? It has a very interesting history especially because it was the first anti tank gun ever adopted, and also because the US used it's cartridge as a template for the Browning 50 cal.

    • @EnSayne987
      @EnSayne987 7 лет назад

    The guns I would love to see from the 4 main classes are as follows:
    Assault- Trench Gun and revolver you get from rank 10.
    Medic- Selbstlader 1906 and Mle 1903
    Support- BAR and Repetierpistole M.12
    Scout- Martini Henry (Or m1903) and the Kolibri.
    Love this series and thank you for making these great videos!

    • @EnSayne987
      @EnSayne987 7 лет назад

      The Selbstlader M1906 would be tough because obtaining concrete info on it is hard. I'm shocked that DICE even got enough visual info to put together what is probably a fairly accurate model. The only widespread info about it is that it was an experimental rifle combining the Luger's action with a rifle's body and the standard German 7.92mm ammo. There wouldn't be a lot to talk about.

      Daniel Sinks I mean they some how managed to get the level 10 assault weapon in (cant remember the name) that had little to no info on it. I just assumed that since westie made that gun work, he could make the Selbstlader work too.

    • @EnSayne987
      @EnSayne987 7 лет назад

      Joffasaur Well there's more public info about the Hellriegel then this. It could be done but it would just be more difficult.

    • @joffasaurfinch
      @joffasaurfinch 7 лет назад

      Daniel Sinks Ah. true. I still hope it happens though! It would be very interesting.

    Best gun for the support class, Westie you should use the AA sights. With AA sight on the low weight variant (bipod) you won't find any oponent in the support class, not even the BAR

    some people use left recoil on this wep claiming it helps with line of sight not being obstructed by that magazine as much. i haven't tried it myself yet.

    Great stuff Westie. Battlefield 1 is a really impressive game, I love how they mixed the history, but still made it engaging for the modern player. One trade off being disproportionate amounts of weapons that didn't really see service, or saw combat on a limited scale. However, by dragging up things like that, they made an opportunity to explore the history of weapons and how they developed into today's firearms. What I'd love to see you cover, and a gun that really falls into a similar category as the Hellriegel is the Pedersen device. Another fascinating offshoot of the war, that actually was something of a technological dead end. Fortunately it was a lot better documented than the Hellriegel, despite the secrecy associated with the project.
    I'd love to see you cover it.

    It would be cool to see a gas system for guns to improve rate of fires for some guns with benefits and penalties. This could add more levels of customization and more things to play around with.

    I think everyone can agree that Madsen is very powerful right now in BF1. Mobile lmg, whose firerate is beaten only by BAR in it's class, but it's much easier to use and have more bullets in magazine.

    +Westie great vid, but you missed one crucial point about the Madsen. It could be shouldered and fired effectively on the move. That was the true revolutionary element to the gun. My granddad even fired it from horseback in the danish army as part of regular training. Now just imagine that in BF1...

    • @petergray7576
      @petergray7576 7 лет назад +1

      shibster88 The mg15 is actually the mg08 without the water cooling jacket. They stripped the water jacket and tripod, gave it an air cooling dissipator and a bipod.

    • @EnSayne987
      @EnSayne987 7 лет назад

      Also, even though the MG15 n.A. is available to support and the MG08/15 is only available to the sentry in this game, the MG08/15 was the more common one and the MG15 was used in smaller numbers. It's considered to have been forgotten amongst the other German MGs.

    The Madsen MG is very similar if not identical to the Bren light machine gun, which was a modified Czechoslovak ZGB 33 LMG. The British ended up purchasing the rights to manufacture it.

      Shapes_of_ Dusk Martini Henris saw rear line issue for British troops that didn't really need the best guns. They also were used to equip the Arabic Rebels sometimes, and Romania used them on the Front Line due to the limited supply of Mannlicher rifles, because they were at War with their Austro-Hungarian suppliers and had a severe shortage. Their cavalry had some old Martinis in storage and brought them out.

    • @petergray7576
      @petergray7576 7 лет назад

      Aidan Templeton The Ottomans also reissued their Peabody Martinis to second line and garrison troops at the beginning of the war, along with Remington Rolling Block rifles and other old BP rifles, since their government was too poor economically to buy newer rifles.
