Beretta BM59

Weapon 🔪 Battle Rifle ⚡ Foreign Design 📦
M1 Garand

The BM59 is an Italian battle rifle chambered in 7.62x51mm NATO. It is essentially a rechambered version of the M1 Garand, though redesigned for the modern infantryman. The BM59 feeds from detachable 20-round magazines, includes a folding bipod and a tri-compensator flash hider / muzzle break / rifle grenade launcher. As of the mid-1960s, the BM59 is in service with The Kingdom of Italy, The Federal Republic of Neigeland, Reichskolonie Nigeria within The Imperial Domain of Mittelafrika and in The Republic of Indonesia as the SP-1. The latter is particularly relevant as Indonesian forces armed with SP-1s have engaged Oceanykan nationals on numerous occasions, with captured rifles becoming prized possessions in their hands.

Abilities

Common Attributes - Mechanical

Auto

This weapon is fully automatic, either inherently so or by the presence of a selective-fire mechanism.

EFFECT:
This weapon can fire more than one shot each time it is used. Each subsequent shot has a progressive penalty.
Automatic weapons are considered STABLE when they're mounted on a vehicle, tripod or turret. This is different from the Stabilised SA.

  • Point Blank Range - No penalty.
  • Close Range (≤10m / 2sq) -> -1
  • Short Range (≤50m / 5sq) -> -2 (STABLE: -1)
  • Average Range (≤200m / 10sq) -> -3 (STABLE: -1)
  • Medium Range (≤500m / 20sq) -> -5 (STABLE: -1)
  • Long Range (≤1000m / 50sq) -> -5 (STABLE: -3)

         ~ Beyond this point, automatic fire is unfeasible without a STABLE firing platform. ~

  • Very Long Range (≤2000m) -> (STABLE: -3)
  • Extreme Range (>2000m) -> (STABLE: -5)

Common Attributes - National

Condottieri Legions - Italian Small Arms (CW)

Though Italy was unable to regain the "glory of Rome" as Mussolini wished, its favourable position at the outcome of both World Wars resulted in the nation becoming a respectable economic power in the Mediterranean. To protect this power, and to expand it, the Kingdom of Italy favours the use of "Condottieri", essentially modern mercenaries which give them great deniability and limit accountability. Italian Condottieri fight across the globe for La Ducessa and Rome's interests, though mostly for money.

EFFECT:
This weapon's hit rolls can be substituted for a coin-flip, which can never be rerolled or suffer from any modifiers.
