Italy's M14: The BM-59 at the Range
This video from Forgotten Weapons dives into Beretta's BM-59 rifle, an Italian post-WWII improvement on the M1 Garand. The presenter highlights its key modifications, including a shortened barrel, box magazine, bipod, and selector switch, all developed in less time than the US M14. The video features range testing and a comparison to the M14, noting that while the BM-59 is easier to shoot, it remains a handful in full-auto fire from the shoulder.
