Histoire
Le Danemark a adopté le fusil Krag-Jorgensen en 1889 comme arme d'infanterie standard. Il possédait une trappe de magasin unique sur le côté qui permettait aux soldats d'insérer des balles en vrac sans ouvrir la culasse. Cela aidait les troupes à charger les munitions rapidement et empêchait la saleté de pénétrer dans les pièces mobiles.
Pendant la Première Guerre mondiale, les troupes danoises ont gardé leurs frontières avec ce fusil pour maintenir le pays neutre et en sécurité. Pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, les soldats danois l'ont utilisé lors des combats contre l'invasion allemande en 1940. Même après l'occupation du Danemark, des résistants ont caché et utilisé ces fusils.
