The Fiat–Revelli Modello 1914 was an Italian water-cooled medium machine gun produced from 1914 to 1918. It was the standard machine-gun of the Italian Army in the First World War, and was used in limited numbers into the ].〔http://world.guns.ru/machine/it/fiat-revelli-m1914-m1935-e.html〕 ==Overview== Developed from the Perino Model 1908, it was very similar to the Maxim in appearance (in fact it had the same air-cooling jacket and tripod), even though its internal workings were completely different. Some sources claim that it had a cartridge-oiling system (like the ones featuring in discussed weapons like the Breda 30), but the weapon manual does not mention its presence, and it seems that only a 1930 version briefly incorporating such a system.〔Segel〕 It was fed from a 50-round integral magazine divided in ten compartments, each fed from a rifle clip, an arrangement that made it rather slow to reload, prone to malfunction and very uncomfortable in sustained-fire role because of this magazine arrangement. It was chambered for the 6.5×52mm Mannlicher–Carcano, which eased logistics (as it was the same cartridge of the Carcano rifle) but made it somewhat underpowered compared to higher-calibre weapons, weighed (the tripod weighed ) and had a firing rate of 400-500 rpm (rounds-per-minute), rather low for this type of machine gun.〔Big set N°20 "armi della fanteria" (infantry weapons) by John Weeks〕 An interesting feature was the presence of select-fire, which allowed for the choice between single shot, "normal" fire and full automatic fire. It was developed into the Fiat–Revelli Modello 1935. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Fiat–Revelli Modello 1914」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
