The Madsen M-50 or M/50 is a submachine gun introduced in 1950. It was produced by the Danish company Dansk Industri Syndikat of Copenhagen, Denmark.

HISTORY

The M/50 is a modified version of the M/46, with the main improvement being a simplified retracting handle. Introduced at Mosede Fort on 7 November 1950, it was in use until 1953.

Constructed from stamped sheet metal, the M/50 uses an open bolt design with a fixed firing pin. Both the M/46 and M/50 are made from two stamped metal pieces with an integrated rear pistol grip and magazine housing. These pieces fit together like a clam shell with a hinge at the rear of the pistol grip and are secured by a threaded barrel locking nut. The hollow pistol grip provides storage for a magazine loading tool.

The M/50 features a tubular steel folding stock covered in leather, which folds to the right side. It fires only in full-auto mode and has a safety lever located in front of the forward magazine housing. To fire, the operator must grip the magazine housing and hold down the safety lever.
