During the same year, Isotta Fraschini also proposed a 6.5 mm machine gun for use on armored vehicles. The 6,5 mm Mitragliatrice Scotti-Isotta Fraschini was installed on the various prototypes that preceded the Carro Armato L6/40 (English: 6 tonnes Light Tank Model 1940) and the Carro Armato M11/39 (English: 11 tonnes Model 1939 medium tank). It was also adopted in small numbers by the Corpo delle Guardie di Pubblica Sicurezza (English: Public Security Guard Corps) for their Motoblinde Guzzi (English: Armored motorcycles) in 1936.



The Moto Guzzi Alce (“Moose”) was a 500 cc single‑cylinder military motorcycle produced by Moto Guzzi from 1938 to 1945 for the Regio Esercito (Italian Army) and other Italian armed forces Wikipedia+1. It replaced the earlier Moto Guzzi GT 20 and was later succeeded by the Superalce in 1943, with production continuing until 1955

Yes to the Moto Guzzi with an MG. Btw a similar thing was done with the Thompson on the Harley WLA and Royal Enfield.


Also these bikes can handle a lot better thanks to the lack of a sidecar.

but might be the first unit with a single soldier

Saboteurs have that beat, but I think a three bike squad with three men would be good, preferably some bikes that can take a pillions would make a six man squad.

You’ve posted the wrong photos—those are Breda 30s… This here is the Guzzi armored machine-gun motorcycle with the Isotta (maybe a little bit of checking before posting—just a tiny bit, at least…)

Yep no more topics for today,

@Ottomatic78

referably some bikes that can take a pillions would make a six man squad.

The Moto Guzzi Trialce would be the closest thing to a high-capacity motorcycle, and it could carry, I believe, up to 4—or at most 5—people.
