According to this source, the Scotti Naval Rifle has a magazine capable of holding either 30 or 35 rounds. Ingame, the Scotti Naval rifle only has 15 rounds
Internet articles are not reliable sources, they do not even indicate any sources as literature.
Just compare the Type Hei automatic rifle with a 30 round magazine.
And now the Scotti Naval rifle.
The difference is immediately noticeable, although the cartridges are the same size.
The Scotti Naval rifle magazine size seems to be slightly smaller than the Fedorov assault rifle magazine, so I’m guessing between 15-25 rounds, but I’m leaning more towards 20 rounds.

Its possible the Scotti uses a double-stacked magazine, OR the article is referring to this extended mag, which is absolutely going to hold 30 to 35 rounds

LOl, does the Fedorov assault rifle or the Type Hei automatic rifle use a single-row magazine?
Yes, of course, that’s obvious.

according to the vid, two version existed: 20-25 rounds and 30-35 rounds

In fact, if you look at the cutouts on the side of the magazine, it looks like there really are 15 rounds. I can also assume that 35 rounds is a mistake by the author of the article, he mixed up “1” and “3”. This is only a hypothesis, but nevertheless it makes sense.
If it is, for example, a 30-round magazine.
This one, if you look at the cutouts on the side, is about half the size of a 30-round magazine (that is, it is designed for 15 rounds).

In some of his videos, the author simply makes up the characteristics.

I guess there is a hole in the mag every two bullets. Would make sense, this configuration isn’t so rare.

would be cool to have sights on them as well
There are 7 holes in the small mag, so 14+1 bullets, and there are 17 holes in the large mag, so 34+1 bullets.

I’m more just amazed that they had the oppertunity to make what would essentially be the Axis equivelant to the Fedorov (just not in the tech tree), but couldn’t avoid the temptation of kneecapping it before it even came out. 15 vs 25 rounds aren’t even in the same league.
Can’t let the Axis have nice things, truly not beating the allegations. And this is comming from a guy who thinks the anti-Axis/pro-SU bias allegations are usually overhyped, btw.
The 15 round capacity is why I initially thought this was going to be a SF rifle, not a Assault Rifle, I’m not looking for a more accurate “high capacity” battle rifle (for a battle rifle, not in comparison in the game) when choosing a AR, so I’m truly wondering what they’re thinking.

I have a slightly better quality image if that helps but it’s small
Honestly, I don’t see why every AR can’t be a Fedorov equivalent. The StG-44 and AS-44 Model 5 both have a higher capacity than the Fedorov (30 vs 25), but their historic cyclic rates are slower (540 and 520, respectively).
Regardless, something Italian that can also fit in this niche would be nice!

By looking closer at the small mag, it looks like there are 2 more holes that are not clearly visible because there is the piece with the spring feeding the bullets that is hiding them. So this would make a total of 9 holes for the small mag.
Hmmm… 
Yeah, Italian things are nice, and good that they’re actually getting something for once.
As long as it’s either moved to BR IV, turned into a SF Rifle or gets a bigger magazine, I’ll be happy. I just have a hard time justifying it’s current state and placement.
If it’s just going to be very accurate and deal high damage, why is it even a AR in the first place then? I truly wonder…
There might also be two more holes on the large mag too: one seems to be barely visible just under the magwell (1 pixel basically), and another seems to be under the hole that I thought was the lowest (very hard to see also, the quality of the pic is very bad at this place). This way, we get a total of 19 holes for the large mag.
So that would probably make the small mag a 20 bullets one, and the large mag a 40 bullets one.
But yeah, I agree that the small mag seems too big for 15 rounds, and too small for 25 rounds. We must remember that the 6.5 Carcano is not a very big round.

I just hope the small mag version can be dropped to BR4 and the large mag version added to techtree in the future. Italy deserves more love and BR5 Germany needs more variety.
If you look very closely, you can see that the small mag has 9 cutouts (these ones are easy to see), and the large mag has 19 cutouts (hard to see, but I am pretty sure of myself). So I think that these mags could fit 20 and 40 rounds respectively. Plus, you said yourself that the large mag is twice as large as the small one.
I am pretty sure that the small mag could fit 20 rounds, because this thing was meant to be used as a light AA MG, and 15 rounds are really not much when you are supposed to shoot down aircraft in full auto. Moreover, most italian LMGs had a 20 round capacity, and this thing was supposed to be used as such, so I’m pretty sure that this thing had indeed a 20 round mag.
What do you think ?

if this magazine was single-row, then more than 15-16 rounds could not fit in the magazine (the size of the cartridge was adjusted based on the shape of the chamber)

You know the Dev’s would never allow the Germans to have a
Soviet equivalent gun.
