| Notes | The two main light anti-aircraft guns developed by Italy was the Breda and Scotti and out of these two the Breda was the most numerous. It was mainly used both as an anti-aircraft gun, but was also used to fire at ground targets and was even issued with an armored piecing round which was useful against light vehicles. It was fed by twelve round strips and had a good rate of fire. It could be towed or carried on the back of a light vehicle and was widely used on all fronts. |
