 == History ==
-In the 1930s the Italian Regio Aeronautica (Italian Air Force) ordered the development of new machine guns for Italian fighters and bombers. The government ordered two companies of Breda and SAFAT to build their machine guns for the competition which had the Breda design based on the [[Browning (7.62 mm)|Browning M1919]] win favor. SAFAT's parent company FIAT attempted to contest the decision, but lost their dispute leading SAFAT to be merged with Breda to create the arms designer Breda-SAFAT. Chambered in .303 British, the short-recoil Breda-SAFAT was intended to be equal or superior to contemporary machine guns. It was liked by Italian pilots for its long range and hitting power and armorers for its reliability, but it was heavy, had a low muzzle a modest rate of fire of 800-900 rounds per minute compare the 1,000 rpm used on contemporary weapons from other nations, and the High-Explosive-Incendiary-Tracer ammunition was ineffective. In addition, the Italians did not develop their own 20mm cannon instead purchasing German [[MG 151 (20 mm)|MG 151]] cannons to mount on their Macchi [[C. 205 (Family)|C. 205]] Veltro, FIAT [[G.55 (Family)|G.55]] Centauro, and Reggiane [[Re.2005 serie 0|Re.2005]] Sagittario fighters. While adequate for 1935, the Italian fighter armament of two 7.7mm Breda-SAFATs occasionally complimenting two 12.7mm [[Breda-SAFAT (12.7 mm)|Breda-SAFAT]] machine guns was well obsolete by 1940. However, almost every fighter and bomber used by the Regio Aeronautica under Mussolini would be armed with these two calibers of machines and the design survived into the 1970s as a anti-aircraft gun most notably in Syria.
