Brixia

[iwanniegrozny]

Buona sera,

Sorry for writing in English.
I have a question concerning interwar Italian "Brixia" light machine guns.

According to Soviet printed sources of 1930-1940s, the following Brixia machine guns have existed:

1. Brixia M5 (M.5? M-5?) - according to Soviet Military Encyclopedia (1933)
it was of barrel short recoil design, 7.92 mm (?) and fed from a twenty
round magazine

2. Brixia M1930 - it was of blowback design; 2 pictures related to
Brixia M1930 are included below : the general view and operating
procedure.

I have found no information on these weapons in the Internet. Can anyone help me with the data concerning these LMGs?

Hope someone can help you...good luck!

Hi!
Maybe.. The most interesting thing is that these light machine are mentioned in the Soviet specialist literature only: by Fyodorov (the designer of the first Russian assault rifle M1916 "avtomat") and Blagonravov (automaticweapons theorist).
I have found no other traces in the Internet

Perhaps yuo searched in wrong places: these are the same drawings that we can find in an old article from the Italian magazine "Diana Armi".
I have it but my scanner is now on strike and so I cannot send it to you.
