Especificaciones
Historia
Dinamarca adoptó el rifle Krag-Jorgensen en 1889 como su arma de infantería estándar. Tenía una puerta de cargador única en el lateral que permitía a los soldados introducir balas sueltas sin necesidad de abrir el cerrojo. Esto ayudaba a las tropas a cargar munición rápidamente y mantenía la suciedad fuera de las piezas móviles. Durante la Primera Guerra Mundial, las tropas danesas protegieron sus fronteras con este rifle para mantener al país neutral y seguro. En la Segunda Guerra Mundial, los soldados daneses lo utilizaron durante los combates contra la invasión alemana en 1940. Incluso después de que Dinamarca fuera ocupada, los combatientes de la resistencia escondieron y utilizaron estos rifles.
