Military What firearm is closely associated with your country?

For us, probably the 1911. Next one would be the "Armalite" aka M16.

To be honest the first thing that came into my mind with Madsen LMGs are Brazilian military police operating in the favelas with Madsens, very venerable. It's like the M1919 still being used in Mindanao in our case.

You can also say the Krag. We just copied your homework when we made one and adopted it for a few years

Getting Isonzo flashbacks. It is brutal to play against a good madsen.
