I’m pretty sure that most rifles have a two row mag: pretty much all rifle (bolt action and semi auto), have a two row internal or detachable mag. Plus, the model ingame seems to be very wide. When you see a M1911 mag, which is a pistol, but in 45. ACP, so it is a fat bullet, the single row mags are pretty thin, and here we’re talking about a “rifle light machine gun” for AA use, so 15 bullets are really not that much. Moreover, you can see that the ingame model has the 9 cutouts on the mag that I mentioned above.
Well, it’s not the developers who are to blame, but the Italians who didn’t make a 25-round magazine.

for this use, an option with an enlarged magazine was probably created, but in general, the only way to find out about the two-row magazine is to compare the thickness of the magazine of this rifle with the magazine of any other rifle, which we know about the number of rows, and here we probably need to compare with Japanese machine guns, since photos of their magazines and placement inside the cartridges are known to us and are also available the width of their cartridges =\ is the same
It seems to me that you made a mistake in the calculation. I will also note that perhaps the first three holes in the small magazine for the Scotti rifle may not be visible due to the angle of the photo, or perhaps they were abandoned, but they are present in the drawing. By the way, there is a drawing from above and there is a rather impressive magazine receiver, which is why I conclude that there is still a double-row magazine. Also keep in mind that the magazine continues into the receiver of the weapon, where there are no holes (marked in yellow in one of the photos).

For the large mag, I am pretty sure that there are 4 more holes at the bottom of the mag, under the 15 that you have shown, you really have to look closely, because the pic gets very blurry at this place. That is why I am pretty sure that the large mag is a double-row 40 round mag (19 holes, so 38+2 bullets).

WTF? perhaps this is due to the fact that I did not take into account the thickness of the walls of the store, but somehow the store turns out to be very two-row
Damn, I need to download a normal photo editor in order to rotate these bullets by ~3-6°.
Well its possible to be like the Breda 30 magazine:

That’s my theory, double-row of 6.5 Carcano isn’t very large.
well, I managed to insert 19+1 cartridges in Photoshop, although if they were placed as in your photo, then 20-23 cartridges could easily fit, depending on what kind of pushing spring was in the magazine
I’m pretty sure that there is one cutout every two bullets + potentially one more bullet at the beginning and the end of the mag, and you get 20 bullets.
everything would be much easier if there were drawings of this weapon with an image of the placement of cartridges in it.

It’s a bad weapon. Awful recoil and just 15 rounds??? Even good dmg per hit doesn’t save it. It could be a BR3 weapon, it doesn’t fit at BR5 or even BR4 where you get superior MKB42(M) with 20 rounds and much superior rof + recoil.

Well you can start some search here:
or on his manual but its a bit complicated
LE ARMI DELLA FANTERIA ITALIANA 1919-1945"
maybe I can look for the book.

judging by my observation, this is just a filler while the rifle is in development
P.S. forget it, apparently the developers decided that the magazine was single-row, so all is lost
well, in principle it will be like AVT 40 15, which in principle was unfairly powerful (these are not my words), but this one will only be limited to 4 pieces per account

I think it could work with the high damage and recoil buff. Although I have no idea why it’s classified as an assault rifle. It’s very unfair considering that many people don’t even have Italian assaulters.
Damn, this website is nice. It even has more info about the Carcano sniper rifle. Very cool, thanks.

If this magazine can hold 200 rounds…
Then this magazine can hold 30-35 rounds no problem
Just look how short and narrow they are

you can check the books it has a lot but it will be hard to cover all you will have to invest some time.
A damn shame, everything points towards the fact that it was a double-row mag, and with 9 cutouts, it doesn’t make much sense for it to have only 15 rounds…

Actually, I think they are. Soviet also didn’t produce su9 during WWII, but it is in the game for balance reason. We can’t be 100% certain about the nature of an obscure prototype, but fun element should take priority here. 15 round is just not enjoyable to play with, especially for a br5 weapon. Both m2 stinger and vickers mg have adjusted ironsight for better gameplay.
