	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~~.		The Madsen M/50 (also known as the Madsen Model 1950) is a Danish 9×19mm submachine gun produced by Dansk Industri Syndikat (DISA). It is an open-bolt, blowback design best known for its distinctive “clamshell” stamped receiver halves held together at the front by a barrel nut and hinged at the rear. The weapon fires full-auto only and uses a front-mounted safety lever that must be depressed while gripping the magazine housing.
	=HISTORY=		==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~~.		Introduced in 1950 as an evolution of the earlier M/46, the M/50 was designed around simplified, highly stamp-friendly construction for efficient production. It retained the two-piece, hinged receiver concept with integrated grip and magazine housing and a right-side folding tubular stock, while refining features such as the cocking arrangement compared to the preceding model. The result was a compact, utilitarian submachine gun intended for military and security roles, emphasizing reliability and ease of manufacture.

	~~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 was widely marketed for export and appeared across multiple conflicts of the Cold War period. During the [[Vietnam War]] era, M/50s were among the diverse mix of 9mm submachine guns present in Southeast Asia, and they were documented in captured-weapon collections and photographic records. Their appearance in Vietnam reflected both international arms flows into the region and the variety of non-standard weapons encountered alongside more common Soviet- and Chinese-pattern submachine guns.
