  1. Yeah, One has to wonder how Beretta, Benelli, Bernardelli, Breda, Franchi, Galesi, ect... survived. Oh, wait. They did selling tons of weapons.

  4. "commercial" meant governments' agencies. They wanted new stuff anyway, not armies' leftovers.

  7. Around that same time Bernardelli designed a semiauto shotgun that closely resembled an SVT-40, thus having a completely different action. https://www.armeriasebina.it/uploads/2013/06/Fucile-Semiautomatico-BERNARDELLI--800x533.jpg

  8. It would be great ot have a review on the "Bernardelli Semiautomatico" shotgun, made form the end of the '40s to the end of the '60 (so a quite successful design). Other than having a detachable magazine, it used a peculiar delayed blowback action that many think it's a forerunner of the Inertia system. https://www.armeriasebina.it/uploads/2013/06/Fucile-Semiautomatico-BERNARDELLI--800x533.jpg

  9. The MAB38 is still in the Italian Navy inventory, mostly for parading.

  10. You should really do a segment on the Bernardelli Semiautomatico shotgun of 1949. That design was phenomenal. Not only because it didn't use the then ubiquitous Browning long recoil action and used a prismatic magazine, but it's like if Baldassarre Belleri (the designer of the action https://patents.google.com/patent/US2622359 ) had seen a SVT-40 and thought "oh, nice rifle, it could be a great shotgun, but that gas piston is so unnecessary" and redone it as a delayed blowback action only changing the inclination of the locking surface. And it worked flawlessly, absorbing a lot of the recoil too. https://www.armeriasebina.it/uploads/2013/06/Fucile-Semiautomatico-BERNARDELLI-.jpg
