First of all I have some probem with the Madsen machineguns,
as it is a 7.92mm LMG I think m.24 LMG should IMHO have a HEK of 5.
(While the Norwegian version was in 6.5mm and thus with a HEK of 4)
Same applies to the M.1929 MMG.
Applies to Weapon 5,9,19
I'm maybe wrong but I think M.1928 MMG is a 8mm machinegune, while M.1924 LMG is a 6.5 mm machinegun. The 8mm MG can have a HEK of 5, but 6.5 mm must keep a HEK of 4. The 6.5mm MG is used in others oob (netherland,...).

I checked it in my only book on the Danish army. the Danes used the same 8mm round in the MMG and LMG, as I understands it is the same 7.92*57 as the Germans.

So that's the easy one.
BTW Sweden had a few Madsen MMG's in 6.5 used by the Navy,
so Madsen produced their guns to any calibre under 25mm.
