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.

Twenty five rounds in clips fit the magazine, and one trigger pull could dispatch them in under two seconds.
