Breda 8mm HMG

Description
The Breda 8mm is a general-purpose machine gun used by the Italians. It has far less suppressive ability than the German MG42 due to its lower rate of fire, but the Breda 8mm is more accurate and consequently does more actual damage in a short amount of time. It also requires less time to set up and break down before firing or moving. The Breda 8mm must be used with support from other infantry due to the weapon's limited arc of fire.

Breda M37 8mm Machine Gun
The unit is equipped with one crew-served Breda 8mm tripod-mounted heavy machine gun. The Breda 8mm has a medium-sized fire arc and has good accuracy for a machine gun. However, it is not as effective at suppressing large numbers of infantry as other heavy machine gun. The machine gun is fired with only member of the crew, with the other two men acting as lookouts and local defense.

The Breda 8mm is considered a crew weapon and can be captured by any infantry squad if the entire crew is killed.

Carcano M91 Rifle
The two members of the crew not handling the machine gun are equipped with bolt-action Carcano M91 rifles for self-defense. They will fire their rifles at nearby infantry, but cannot be relied upon to defend against a flanking maneuver by any serious attacking force.
