Why does no one use the Madsen MG?

Its such a good gun, fast rpm for an lmg, and really accurate (storm). Its like an upgraded version of the bar, with better accuracy over distances. Some people say its because of the magazine, but I've never had an issue with it.

But the Madsen is an ok gun, I personally find the mag annoying but have still used it a fair bit. At mid-range is pretty good.
It has a large mag for this game, which would usually make it viable as a multi-engagament weapon, but since the negative spread model means that beyond extreme CQB you will always need to spend at least 7-8 rounds to down someone at mid-range you will still only have a max of 3 kills in a mag even with perfect aim. For CQB, it is too punished by the LMG's sluggish aim down sight time and is totally not viable as a reactive weapon. The trench is usually the best variant of any LMG now because of this.
For most people who continue to play this game, who have already learned how to manage reloads, learned the maps and cover spots with which to do so, or shot pacing with other weapons or classes, it just doesn't really offer anything, and isn't fun to use or iconic in any way that someone might tolerate it using it otherwise.
The magazine is irritating, but not the reason it isn't used. It was much more viable at the games launch, but is an example of a gun that came out really suffering post TTK 2.0
