Re: Madsen 20mm AA guns
Well, I'm happy to see so many good pics of my favourite 2cm gun in WW2(I just like its shape ) ...
Madsen 2cm was also widely used by China in WW2, surprisingly by both Nationalists and Communists. There is a quite complete one kept in the military museum in Beijing.

Re: Madsen 20mm AA guns
I have read in a 1947 Chinese book that Madsen 2cm guns(perhaps M1933) used "F5" carriage for anti-tank mission, and used "F7" carriage for anti-aircraft mission. Any info about these designations?
Re: Madsen 20mm AA guns
Hello
I don't know if the designation is the F 5 but here a example of the 2 cm Madsen gun as anti-tankgun .

Re: Madsen 20mm AA guns
Designation F5 I do not see, seen F4 and F6.
Maybe anti-tank variant it is Madsen-Tankbuchse?

Re: Madsen 20mm AA guns
Thanks a lot for these information and pictures! Too bad I can't read German and I have to ask my friend for translation.
The Chinese book mentioned above doesn't have pictures. So you mean you know the designation F 7? What did F 4, F 6 and F 7 carriages look like?
Here are the only two photos I can find of Chinese Madsen on anti-tank carriage. the number 1 photo is a Madsen in Nationalist service, 1930s; the number2 is a Madsen in Communist(8RA) service in 1938.

Thanks a lot! However, for unknown reason I cannot see your first, second and last picture. Could you please upload them here?
