Italian equipment for those making custom cards or scenarios

0:00 - Infantry rifles, Carcano M91/38 and what looks like the Fucile M91

0:25 - Looks like a comparison between the 6.5mm round to the right and the newer 7.35mm round to the left. Presumably this was filmed somewhere around 1939/1940 when they were attempting to still switch over to the greater caliber. Demonstrating the bayonet follows.

1:05 - Bombo a mano (hand grenade, "bomb by the hand") Breda Modello 35. Fairly typical grenades, but British and ANZAC troops were warned to never use them as their production was plagued with poor fuses.

1:18 - Bombo a mano S.C.R.M. Modello 35

1:26 - Bombo a mano OTO Modello 35

1:51 - Breda Modello 38 LMG. This model is the 7.35mm version of the 6.5mm Breda Modello 30 LMG.

2:32 - Modello 38 and Fucile M91 in the background, and an interesting part involving the 47/32 in the indirect fire role.

3:23 - A setup for 3:44, where the improved model is shown. This is the Fiat-Revelli Modello 14, I believe.

3:44 - Fiat-Revelli Modello 35, 8mm medium machine gun. This was considered one of the better designs of WW2, along with the Czech ZB 53. It was definitely one of the best infantry weapons that came out of Italy in the period.

4:45 - Breda Modello 37. Also in 8mm.

5:29 - Looks like a Breda Modello 37 on an AA mount.

5:50 - The much maligned Brixia Modello 35 45mm mortar. Very odd design as you know.

7:12 - Mortaio da 81/14 Modello 35. A licensed Brandt mortar.

8:06 - The "Elefantino" (little elephant) Breda Cannone da 47/32 Modello 35. This was a combination AT and infantry gun. In 1938-40 it was actually a fairly good gun. It was just used as the main ATG for far too long.

9:06 - The Beretta MAB38 is the SMG featured.

9:25 - The Breda da 20/65 modello 38 20mm antiaircraft cannon.
