The Mitragliatore Fucile Breda 30 machine gun was the standard of the Italian Army during World War II. The Breda 30 is remembered as a bad gun because he had a low rate of fire and used the weak 6.5 x52mm cartridge. The gun was fed by a comb that fit next to it.

The weapon had an engine lubrication oil dipped in each cartridge which entered the chamber and this caused the heating of the pipe quickly, causing the ammunition from firing before it is fully in the chamber.

Some Bredas were converted to M37, which used the cartridge 7-35mm, but the conversion never reached a large number due to industrial problems. The Breda 30 was in service between 1930 and 1945.
