Very interesting. These and other Italian small arms can be purchased around the globe. This particular machine gun is rare but appears mainly at auctions where they command a high price!,
Regards to all,

Yet another example of a video-game butchering a firearm. Why is the magazine and charging handle on the let side, and why does the gunner reload by replacing an entire mag rather than the correct way of inserting a stripper clip?

Medal of Honor:Breakthrough featured the Breda 30 as well with a similarly unusual reloading animation (replacing the mag rather than inserting a stripper clip), but at least that game got the mag and charging handle on the correct (right) side of the gun...
