Tybaltcapulet's "Shit, the Breda's back" Edges:

Rifle: The Carcano has everything that it needs to beat the bootleg Mauser here. As BF said, larger bullets, better reloading system, and an extra round to keep up fire for longer periods of time. Easy edge for the Blackshirts.Edge: Blackshirt

MG: 

First off before I again go off on this piece of garbage, practical rate of fire means the fire rate that the weapon can pull off in practice, because it's such a piece of shit that it can't go full speed without wrecking the weapon or at least making it highly inaccurate.

I'm literally just going to copy the rant I did in my Blackshirts battle, because I think it covers this pretty well:

"It's time for a Breda 30 rant(because I fucking hate this thing), because even though I didn't mention it in the actual weapon description, it's an absolutely pathetic machine gun in most situations. First there's the regular stats of the weapon itself. The disgustingly tiny 20 round stripper clips will barely be able to provide any substantial fire before it runs out of ammo. Its rate of fire practical or not is very slow anyways, which also makes it pretty hard to output covering fire at the Guard. Then there's the underpowered 6.5x52mm Carcano round that isn't nearly as powerful as other machine guns.

''Then there's the numerous, numerous design flaws and bugs of the Breda that cause many issue in operation. Since I don't want to go crazy in describing it in sentences, here's a bulleted list of just some of the major problems of this flaming piece of garbage.'' The Type 3 isn't an absolutely fabulous weapon, but isn't plagued by the myriad of issue that the Breda 30 has
 * If the magazine or its hinge were damaged, the weapon was basically unusable
 * Its primary extraction was notoriously awful
 * Rounds would often ignite without the intent of the gunner
 * It frequently jammed, and reloading was an extremely long process
 * The front and rear sights were both on the gun body, so any replacement barrels would be inherently less accurate
 * The oiling system was very susceptible to allowing dust and debris to get into the action system"
