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
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.
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.
