The Breda M37 is an Italian medium machinegun produced by the Breda company in Italy. It was adopted in 1937 by the Royal Italian Army as the standard machine gun for company and battalion support, chambered the 8x59mm RB Breda, and had a rate of fire of 460 rounds per minute. The M37 is fed by 20-round trays of cartridges, which limit its continuous fire. It is a simple and reliable weapon, but it had some drawbacks, such as the substantial vibrations and the need for a second crew member to feed the ammunition.
