HC Deb 21 June 1918 vol 107 cc649-50
7. Mr. CURRIE

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether the Madsen gun is in its essential features a novelty, or whether it has been more or less familiar to gunnery experts for a considerable number of years?

Mr. MACPHERSON

The Madsen gun, which is a development of the Rexel gun, has in all its essential features been well known to the experts for the past three years. The original Rexel gun has been known for fifteen years.
