The '''Madsen MG''' is a weapon featured in ''[[Battlefield 1]]'' for the [[Support]] kit. The detachable box magazine, which fits into the top of the weapon, can be a slight distraction. It greatly obscures view while aiming down sight, along with the action handle. This disruption is offset by the weapon's potent rate of fire, easy handling and low hip spread, as well as reloading quicker than other small-magazine LMGs if the user still has rounds left in the magazine.
 
 
===Singleplayer===
 
The Madsen MG is the most common LMG in the campaign. Its Low Weight variant is standard weapon of [[Ottoman Empire|Ottoman]] and [[Austro-Hungarian Empire|Austro-Hungarian]] support units. Its Storm variant can be picked up from weapon crates in every level excluding [[Storm of Steel]].
 
 
===Multiplayer===
 
Owing to the fast rate of fire (currently the fourth highest among LMGs after the [[BAR M1918#Battlefield 1|BAR M1918]], [[MG 08#lMG 08/18|lMG 08/18]] and the [[Parabellum MG14/17]]), good hipfire spread, and fast reload speed, the Madsen MG is an excellent support weapon to use in close quarters. However, its occlusive iron sight (and the inability to use it with an optic) along with its high recoil makes it a poorer contender for long range combat than most other support weapons.
 
 
Three variants of the '''Madsen MG''' are featured in multiplayer: '''Low Weight''', '''Storm''', and '''Trench'''.
 
 
====Low Weight====
 
The '''Madsen MG Low Weight''' recovers both spread and recoil faster than the other two variants. It also has a [[Bipod#Battlefield 1|bipod]] like the other Low Weight variants.
 
 
====Trench====
 
{{Quote|Equipped with a vertical foregrip, this LMG pattern offers improved accuracy when hip firing.|In-game Description}}
 
The '''Madsen MG Trench''' is fitted with a [[Vertical Grip#Battlefield 1|foregrip]], granting better hipfire accuracy.
 
 
====Storm====
 
{{Quote|Equipped with a vertical foregrip, this LMG pattern offers reduced recoil while firing.|In-game Description}}
 
The '''Madsen MG Storm''' variant is fitted with a [[Vertical Grip#Battlefield 1|foregrip]], granting slightly better recoil control.
