A Wonderful Rifle with Automatic Cartridges
Captain Cei of the Italian Infantry devised a system five years ago using cartridge gases to eject cases and position the next round. It first appeared on the Italian Maxim and mitrailleuse, then adapted to Mauser and Italian rifles. The modified rifle can fire 15 shots a second from the shoulder, with a lever enabling deliberate fire. Twenty five rounds in clips fit the magazine, and one trigger pull could dispatch them in under two seconds.
