Test fire
Added 2018-11-24 03:09:29 +0000 UTCThis Madsen is unique. Definitely a pre-war design, it is in 7mm and has no inspection marks. We kinda suspect it was part of a lost Bulgarian shipment, that's a whole story.
It's missing one part and we're pulling some favors to get a reference image from the closest available model we know of today. Even so, we'll have to work out the final shape off what's available.
Good news is it only affects the feeding of the last round. So I got to do this.
We're very happy to have it on loan and are eager to make the repair as this configuration is the same noted in every photo of German or Austrian troops with the gun, unlike the later Portuguese variety we usually see.

2018-11-26 06:58:54 +0000 UTCWe do a multi-tiered setup. A lav on Mae to get the close in sounds, and then two shotguns for the mid range, a sort of ambient mic in between those and one, simple zoom h1 dialed way down to get the high notes All blended in post

2018-11-26 06:58:41 +0000 UTCThey did, but in very small numbers, as Denmark cut them off fairly soon after the war began, iirc. Unrestricted submarine warfare has a way of making enemies that way... X-D

2018-11-26 06:02:21 +0000 UTCWhat's the quote about the Madsen? "It is not a wonder that it works so well, but a wonder that it works at all!.."? Something like that...

2018-11-25 07:20:46 +0000 UTCIt just doesn't seem right without Mae behind the gun...for now.

2018-11-24 06:42:35 +0000 UTCI'm almost as excited about the impending episode for this, as I am for the impending MP-18 episode. And no, Beardy, that's not a hint that you to get the later one out. "It will be done when it's finished" will be just fine, sir.
