BREDA Loader2

Описание: BREDA M-37 Tray Loader in Action!

Società Italiana Ernesto Breda or simpley 'BREDA' was an Italian mechanical manufacturing company founded by Ernesto Breda in Milan in 1886. In 1927 BREDA began making firearms. The BREDA Mitragliatrice Breda calibro 8 modello 37 was designed and developed in 1937 for the Royal Italian Army. This heavy machine gun was chambered in the rebated 8×59mm Italian cartridge and others for export. Romania later adopted the M-37 and updated the design with a longer barrel chambered in 7.92×57mm Mauser. The M-37 fires the cartridges from a unique 20 round tray. After the cartridge is fired, the empty is reinserted into the tray.

This loader is an elegant masterpiece that unloads the empties and loads the Mauser rounds into the 20 round ammo tray, as shown in this original Italian movie (   • Breda mod.37  . When a cartridge gets stuck in the hopper (noting that it should not), you can crank multiple cycles until it becomes free and loads into the tray. At which point the driving rod moves the tray to the next loading position. This thing is a mechanical computer, invented in the '30, amazing! Think of it this way, it was over a decade later when Turning's electromechanical computer successfully decoded enigma and changed the war for Britain!
