  • Help with IDing weapon please

    Hello folks


    During the recent gun battles in Brasil, between gangsters and police, there were loads of footage showing police using a variety of weapons. One left me completely baffled:


    I can't ID this weapon. I'll grant I'm no expert, but even I know that weapons with an upward clip are rare. I thought at first that it might me an australian F1 SMG, but no...

    Anyone has any idea?

    Forget this please....

    Found the weapon. I was looking for more-or-less modern SMGs/assault rifles... but it's a Madsen light machine gun!

    Talk about "long service"...

      Are those photos from Brazil last month?

      I assume they were pulled out of storage for some operation, since their police force supposedly retired the last of them sometime last year.

          Would be interesting to see what is floating around in the US, UK, Russian and French war reserves.

            Looks like one of those Danish Madsen LMG's from WWI.

              Attend a nice gun show in the heart land and you'll see.

              Speaking of which, the Tulsa show is coming up. We have members going.;)

                War Reserve, not Invasion Reserve.
