Fiat-Revelli M35
The Fiat-Revelli M35 is a Italian heavy machine gun. The machine gun derives historically from the Perino Machine Gun designed by Bethel Abiel Revelli in 1910 and completed in 1914. The first version, called Fiat-Revelli M1914, was used during WWI, but the water-cooling sleeve was too heavy, the charger was small and prone to jams (due to the oil pump), and finally 6.5 mm projectiles were not sufficiently destructive. So an improved version was designed: the M14/35, with a different system of cooling and different caliber. The water cooling system was replaced with air cooling and the feed system changed to metal strips instead of cassette loaders, also eliminating the lubricant pump present in Fiat-Revelli M1914 or Breda Modello 30.
Specifications
(1935 - 1940)
- Type: MachineGun
- Caliber: 8 × 59 mm RB Breda
- Capacity: Belt feed
