8mm Madsen*
*
The 8mm Madsen was developed in the 1890s,* 
and adopted by the Danish army in 1903.* 
It was one of the very first light machineguns,* 
and at the same time very reliable.* 
No one has ever used the same system as in the Madsen.* 
The Madsen had a unique firing system and was rather* 
expensive to make.*
