47 mm 47/32 gun mounted on L3 (CV 33) tankette chassis - Italian prewar prototype of self-propelled anti-tank gun
The Ortolani submachine gun was an Italian prototype submachine gun designed by Michele and Bartolomeo Ortolani in 1941 and produced in prototype form only.

History

The Ortolani submachine gun was designed in 1941 by brothers Michele and Bartolomeo Ortolani. The weapon may have been produced post-war. Other details about the history of the weapon are not well documented.

Design Details

The Ortolani is a submachine gun feeding from 40-round detachable box magazines. It is notable for being the first submachine gun to use a roller-delayed blowback action.[1]

Are you sure that the Bommarito is Italian? The designer was definitely Italian by birth, but it was submitted to US trials.

US Bommarito semiauto rifle

The Bommarito was one of the many rifle designs sent to the US Ordnance Department when they announced a search for a capable autoloading rifle for the US Army. It was not one of the more successful entrants, though. It used a toggle lock like the Luger and later Pedersen rifle, and was heavy, unreliable, and liked to eat shooters’ fingers in its toggle mechanism.

We have a couple more images available in the Bommarito page of the Vault…

This is the standard aircraft version.
These are the ground versions.

It would have been much more interesting, and with an Italian squad incorporated, it would have encouraged players to grind to unlock it.

The MG81 is practically useless. I don’t see any point in that weapon when you have the MG42.

The 81 would have been interesting as an event weapon.
