Default Dude, this is simply awesome...



I thought they were retired in Brazil since 2008, but the pic was taken in October 19 (2009).

Holly $#!t. They are still using Madison LMGs. I would have expected something dateing after WWII.

The mag is there.

It must be a pain to get parts for these things. These cops have to be really hard up for weapons.

(Yes, these are cops, and they're battling drug traffickers. And according to wikipedia, these Madsens have been converted to 7.62 NATO from .30-06. Pictures 10 and 14 show the Madsen. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1000...014765892.html)

Ok, that's just awesome. Even though: A, it should me in a museum, and B, you'd think they could afford better weapons. The drug lords have gold weapon, the cops have 100-year-old machine guns. Awesome.

Holy christ, that's awesome.

I wonder if I can talk the commandant of my branch school into letting me mount one of the display Lewis guns on a G Wagon...

For me itīs awesome due to its age. I mean, you donīt see a 100 year-old MG used against gangs everyday. Also, they canīt afford better weapons, in fact, in most south-american police forces, you must buy your uniform, gear and weapons by yourself, with your own money.
