M1915 Villar Perosa
This video explores the M1915 Villar Perosa, one of the earliest military machine guns, originally designed as an aircraft weapon. It details its unique dual-barreled configuration, high rate of fire, and its feed system using 25-round magazines of 9mm Glisenti cartridges. The description highlights its obsolescence in aerial combat with the advent of improved armaments and its unsuccessful adaptations for ground combat. The video also touches upon its later conversion into shoulder-fired submachine guns by Beretta and Villar Perosa, making intact original models rare.
