This video explores Italy's World War I heavy machine gun, the FIAT-Revelli Modello 1914. It details its development as a domestic alternative to the Maxim, its delayed blowback system with a wedge under mechanical disadvantage, and its unique 50-round mousetrap magazine. The description highlights the gun's circulating water jacket operated by a hand-cranked pump and its service in both aircraft and ground roles during WWI. An updated air-cooled version also served through WWII. The video acknowledges the scarcity of these firearms in the US and expresses gratitude to the owner for access.
