20mm Madsen machine gun simply can not be light, it is heavy MG or even automatic cannone....

The Madsen light machine gun was made from 1902 until the mid 60's in any military rifle caliber between 6.5 an 8 mm. There was also the Madsen 20 mm and 23 mm anti-aircraft cannons. Which were also mounted like cannons. The 20 mm machine cannons of the Danish Army were responsible for knocking out eleven armoured cars and two Panzer I's during the German invasion before the order to surrender came through.
