after a brief search, I can contribute this:
FDA submachine gun (Italy, 1940s)
“The FDA SMG was a basic blowback-operated gun chambered for the ubiquitous 9x19mm cartridge. From a technical standpoint it is not particularly interesting. However, the absence of information surrounding the gun is odd. It could possibly have been made by CLN partisans during the German occupation of Italy; it is said that engineers from FIAT secretly provided their technical expertise to Italian resistance movements during World War II, and one of the weapons developed as a result of this was the very rare Variara submachine gun.”
Italian Rexer-Madsen M1908 in 6.5 Carcano
Bommarito Semi-Automatic Rifle
U.S. trial semi auto rifle that was rejected. Made by an italian immigrant.
The Villar Perosa is a classic ww1 era Italian SMG. Could be fun to include a few as an event or something.
This is an image of a soldier hip firing (at least attempting to) a Fiat-Revelli machine gun.
This is an image of a massive stripper clip being used to reload a larger magazine variant of cei-rigotti rifle you already listed.

Hey yes they both used FM24/29 , WZ.35 and S18-100 but like I said I wanted this list be wholly Italian and there is only 1 non-italian that I included that I didnt see in any Italian tech-tree (ZK 391) BTW this is not a tech-tree suggestion its just recollection that you can use these guns to make one yourself I just made it so you guys have an easy time if you wanted to make a sub/-tech tree
Like Tychus from StarCraft 2 once said : hell it about dam time

Nice, I hadn’t seen that topic yet. I think I have a few things in store to add to your list. I’ll probably add them this evening.

Most likly will be closed man since it would be necropost
Very good content, can you have a content about Finland next time? After all, some Finnish weapons are also present in the game
Here I did make such topic long ago hope you enjoy
They lack sniper weapons, but I can contribute them
1.mosin nagant M/39 rifle PH sight, this sight is produced by the company Physica, 3x magnification
2.mosin nagant M/33 rifle, mounted with a German Zielvier 4X scope
- Swedish mauser M/41 rifle, which is equipped with an AJACK scope of 4×42, I put her in because the Swedish Volunteer Corps took part in the winter war, they belong to the Finnish camp
4.Make up for something else, such as this AVS26 rifle with an LS26 magazine
I will add some snipers too this evening, but for the italians, and they will be mainly Carcanos.
Does the sniper content refer to Finland?
No, it will be for the italians. But if you’re interested in finnish weapons, I made a topic about a website containing basically every finnish weapons made or used by Finland between 1918 and 1945. Here:
I promised new italian weapons, so here I am:
Stocked Villar-Perosa and wooden-tray
During WW1, the italians and austro-hungarians tried different methods to transform the Villar Perosa into a portable weapon. The italians tested this tray:
And the austro-hungarians tested some captured Villar Perosa with a stock attached to it:
Even if it is a austro-hungarian design, it is still originally an italian weapon, and after WW1, Italy got a lot of austro-hungarian weapons, which were used during WW2.
This could be a potential Rank 4 or 5 weapon, because it could function like it does in the Isonzo game: when the soldier is standing, he shoots “each gun” one after the other, so logically, this would make it into a 50 round SMG ? (25+25). But with the stocked variant, you could potentially choose to shoot one, or both “guns” at the same time (so two different firing modes), because it looks way more ergonomic than the normal Villar Perosa with only its spade grips.
Carcano 1891 with different scopes
Unknown manufacturer:
Experimental modification
I could only find a drawing, but basically, the scope would have been mounted on top of the bolt, and not on the side just like for other Carcano sniper rifles, because it uses an en-bloc clip, so the scope has to be mounted on the side to be loaded, so you have to load the rifle from the bottom if the scope is mounted on top of the bolt.
Filotecnica Milano scope
Basically the Carcano sniper rifle in the Isonzo game. The one we have in Enlisted is the Scheibler and Amigues scope. There is also the Carcano carbine with the ZF-41 scope, but this one is very likely a fake, or at least a post-war assembly, so I think it should be removed or replaced.
Salmoiraghi scope
Kar98k with ZF-41 scope
We know it was used by the italians because you can find a manual for the rifle in italian language.
That’s all I have to add. You can find more pics on the links I used as sources:
The stocked Villar Perosa (lots of cool stuff on this blog here, especially the posts with all the Sten variants):
The scoped Carcano rifles, other pics there, the website is in italian, use your translator (also the Kar98k manual in italian is available there, just click on the picture of the manual):

So in what form do they appear? Battle Pass? Tech tree?
A tech tree would be cool, but I doubt the devs will do it anytime soon, they’re already not very motivated to make separate british and italian trees, so a finnish…
very motivated to make useless graphics updates with extra bugs , but remaking again the italy or britain not … makes sense
I have made a topic a few days ago about carptured german weapons designations here:
But basically, if we make an italian tree, a fair amount of weapons (particularly SMGs) should be removed from the german tree, because the germans never got some weapons that are in their tree at the moment. And if we mix the hungarian and romanian nations with the italian tree, we can get a pretty solid “Italy and minor axis nations” tree.
