I agree. It is older videos I thought there was always a little too much slow mo and sound effects, and I think they definitely have the balance right now
I personally would prefer them to cut back on the slo mo footage and maybe speed up the ultra high speed just a bit. That's just me though. I generally tend to prefer seeing guns operate at or close to real time.
You have a defective buttstock on that one. It's supposed to lock in the folded out position. To fold it back in, you squeeze the top and bottom part together, thus releasing the lock in the top hinge. To fix it, simply remove it and pull the two parts a little further apart. Don't believe me? Check out Ian's video on Forgotten Weapons.
Actually, the Ians video is an Brazilian INA in .45 ACP. The interesting part is that we build this gun even before the Danish, since we were held responsible for keeping it's project when WW2 break out.
@@ThomasAdsumus, there was a little effort of Imbel (Itajubá) with rebuilding INAs in 9mm... I have tested one in ~2004... Was a little less horrible than in 45, hahaha!
My grandpa left me this gun when he passed he brought it back from Vietnam. I think it's what sparked my love for firearms. He had it hanging on the wall in our house growing up, I loved looking at it & holding it. Sucks that it was welded to bring back, I would've loved to hit the range and fire some shots with it in his name.
Super cool thank you very much sir , this smg as a classic weapon on Brazilian military and police force , From 70s 80s and maybe 60s too ! And whit beretta pm12s smg
My grandpa used one of these from ‘nam, he was an Army officer and he got it from an Aussie SAS dude. Even though it was full auto, he said he got pretty damn accurate with it, considering most of the time he was sitting around FOBs plinking cans. Love to see some high quality footage of this gun.
@TheSatanicTicTac They might have been using it for deniability, the way the CIA used the Swedish Carl Gustav 45 smg, that way if a team member was killed & his weapon recovered by the Viet Cong/NVA the U.S. could deny involvement, and tell North Vietnam to go declare war on Sweden. The French might have used these for the same reason to tell the enemy to take it up with Denmark, although I have never heard that they used them- but then I never said I knew everything.
This weapon was used in the Venezuelan Armed Forces from 1959 until it was replaced by the UZI machine gun to fight guerrilla groups in the 60s and 70s of the 20th century. The emblem that appears is the coat of arms of Venezuela.
Seems like it could be a solid, affordable gun with some 2019 technology in the manufacturing. A better, locking folding stock mechanism, and a body made out of a polymer that could be injection molded would make for a simple, very cheap SMG. On top of that, if everything besides the barrel and bolt were polymer, it would be a light weight gun as well, easily shedding 3lbs or so.
@@AICW I think that was what he meant with "some 2019 technology in the manufacturing" to streamline the operation of the whole weapon to tactical 2019 standards.
Crud as it is, I didn't notice as much flexing as most SMGs or carbines seem to have. Maybe the camera or I didn't pick it up but this SMG seemed to be reliable, simple and relatively accurate as CQB distances, considering the poor sighting system. Love the shots of the bolt stripping the rounds off the magazine follower.
Very cool video, very nice camera angles and editing, super slow motion shots blending in speeding up looking great, overall I loved it. I really love, thank and appreciate you, and all that you do. I love the LAV!
An excellent vid I agree that Larry and his crew have found the perfect balance of filmwork in these new vids. But I gotta say...Larry losing weight is fantastic for his health but JUST NOT THE SAME
@ 4:15, You can see the bullet sail past ! @ 4:25 ,You can see the bullet hit the plate, while 2 shell casings are spinning differently, through the air !
@@spacelag5104 : The speed of light in a vacuum is 186,282 miles per second (299,792 kilometers per second), and in theory nothing can travel faster than light.

Later production guns had curved mags but I don't know if they were double feed . A Sterling will work with Sterling mags and Sten mags so maybe the Madsen is the same?
Larry, in the filming for Vickers Tactical have you turned down the opportunity to fire some weapons because they weren’t serviceable? (Not safe to fire due to problems with the a part) ?
Captain Kirk of the Starship Enterprise (Star Fleet - United Federation of Planets) will use this weapon 200 years in the future against the Wanbee Romans (Original Series - Bread and Circuses). "Obsolete but effective." His words not mine. He could have wiped them all out but the Federation Politicians wouldn't allow it. LOL. Thanks for the great video. One of the under sung weapons of the post War period. Would love to own one.

@@SupesMe Probably because they have that coldly efficient look of certain European firearms. I know I was infatuated with them as a kid until I got to handle one as an adult. Yuck! The grip feels like a metal brick and makes the large Glocks seem svelte and handy by comparison.
Seems to work... Without any knowledge about this particular SMG, usually there is some thought plowed down into a design that's made production. The forward grip safety is just in front of (or behind, depending of reference) the mag release lever. Then it is logical not to risk an inadvertent mag release, to have these levers to work in opposite directions. It may not be the most ergonomic solution though. Also, some of the objections may be due to habits and conventions rather than practicality. Is there a "modularity" of design, or universalism by intuition predicating the truest ergonomy.
Over the shoulder super-slow-mo of the bullet on the way to the Steel was badass - thanks!
THIS, plus, add in an extended version of that with more than one shot at the time.
Beautiful
Vickers and his crew have really found the perfect balance of normal and super slow-mo shots, also great angles.
I agree. It is older videos I thought there was always a little too much slow mo and sound effects, and I think they definitely have the balance right now
I noticed that in this video as well. It is really great. This is one of their best so far.

Do you think it can be fixed?
I had one years ago. As simple and crude as it looks, it actually shot very well and was very controllable.
It looks like a square mp-40 had a child with a grease gun.
M-10 + MP40 = M-50

I find crude looking firearms beautiful to be honest.
Had one of these in the armory I worked at in Okinowa many many years ago. Total blast to shoot!!
... Holy Crap!a weapon used for what became the 18 series in the US Army, circa 1988. Favorite of CIA in Vietnam ... You go Larry! ...
French Army used Madsen 50 in Vietnam with special group(11ème CHOC), and after the south Vietnam army used it and also the Thailand army

Brazil made a copy of that in 45 ACP. It was built by INA (Industria Nacional de Armamentos).
My grandfather uses one of these when he was a policeman back in the day. Glad to see a video about it :)
That sequence at 3:54 was awesome
The M-40 sub machine gun was truly a bad ass powerful fire arms. And very impressive too, thank you for sharing this video.
found the channel recently and have to say this is much better than the older videos, in both editing and sound design
The stock folds like that is because if someone pop up on the side you can fold the gun shoot them without turning your body LMAO JK
Nothing like firing some full auto 9mm from an oversized Altoids tin.😆
True, and it'd be pretty comfortable too.. Especially if big submachine guns like them are suppressed.
Editing was beautiful 👌
Slick footage. Thank you sir.
I love crude SMGs. Grease Guns...this bad boy. Love that! Big ups to the editing team to not overdue the slump. Perfect blend. The 🤯
This weapon just became available on Gun Disassembly if you want to see more of it.
Great video as always. Love seeing the real time and slow motion! Pretty cool that a 70 year old "crude" SMG is still shooting.
Larry, shooting an unarmed steel plates in the last minute was cool. Yevgen.
Love from Ukraine.
Keep’em coming, LAV!! Outstanding!!
nice i love these types of guns because SMG in my a pinion are good small and light easy to conceal
That bullet slow motion was awesome
*ALWAYS* the BEST Gun videos!
Barr None!
Best camera work in the whole biz. And that stock woud drive me ape shit.
Is weapon. Does fire. 😐 ...but this slow motion gets better and better all the time. Superb.
Sitting in traffic/gridlock watching my fav gun vids.
It is a trip how far the bolt travels! Amazing video! Can’t wait for the next one!!!

Dump the ridiculous grip safety though. And switch the magazine release so you push in instead of pull back, which is even more ridiculous.

There should be some sort of grip safety or something to make it drop safe tho

GREAT AS ALWAYS
the super slo mo vids are insane...
I so wish I had your slow mow camera! Damn!!
Awesome stuff great camera work!
Love ya Larry, keep up the good work!
Now that you are at the Madsen, you should look at the Madsen LMG - the world's first LMG and used until recently by the Brazilian BOPA
I spent a little time with that one wen o went through SFQC to be an 18B. It always reminded me of lawn furniture.

It shooting sounds like a sound effect lol
It’s very similar to what you’d hear in a generic movie of automatic guns going off
Waiting for madsen review, dad had one
That's a sweet sounding gun!!!❤️
I"ve always love the Madson machine gun--super cool space age looking.
They used them in the planet of the apes--second movie
Madsen not Madson. Like Virginia Madsen.
That looks smooth
Awesome video! I really enjoyed it!
That last recorded gun to target shot was real doozy...
Sounds great af 💥

Hopefully finnish kp31 too
A rate of fire that does no seem excessive
Unique weapon!
Nice background music!
Now, I wanna build one! And, pay the tax stamp!
It's crazy to think about a bullet going slow enough of having a camera good enough to capture a bullet flying through the air
We managed to "record" the speed of light, if you were to record a shot at that speed it would take years to travel
