The Beretta 1918 was a versatile carbine developed during WW1 by the Kingdom of Italy. It was a unique firearm in that it not only was adopted prior to the MP18 in Germany, but was also made directly from the system of the Villar-Perosa, meaning one lightmachine gun could turn into two during production.

It fired in 9mm Glisenti, had the same folding bayonet as an earlier Carcano carbine, and fired in semi-auto

  • (This is not a mistake, the common "full-auto" portrayal is a myth pushed by both Battlefield 1 (Automatico 1918) and Enlisted (Beretta 1918/30) combined, when in reality, nearly none of the produced guns actually had such a function as it was not originally intended to be an SMG, looking up videos of the gun itself in action will show that there is no full-auto to begin with)

Although it was made nearly at the end of the war, it still managed to produce 5,000 copies that were attempted to be used in front-line combat (and could have historically done so). Italy would later revise the gun as the Beretta 1918/30, to be used by police forces.

Oddly enough, the ironsights are on the right side in real life, similar to the Owen gun
