			== Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade ==

			Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, and many other movies, have the villar perosa listed on their pages but then aren't listed here. I get that the ones in these movies are fakes but they should still be added here with notes as to the actual guns used in the mockup.

	'''Villar-Perosa M1915''' is a twin-barreled submachine gun of Italian manufacturer [[Officine Villar Perosa]] (OVP in short) . It was originally designed in 1914 by famous Italian small arms designer Bethel Abiel Revelli as an aircraft weapon. It failed in this capacity, as it was designed to fire low-powered 9mm Glisenti ammunition, which was weaker than dimensionally similar 9x19 Luger ammunition. In 1915 the Villar-Perosa M195 was converted for ground applications, with introduction of variety of mountings, including light tripods/carrying trays (which were carried on shoulder straps or put on the ground for more stable position and less exposure to enemy fire) and light tripods. Later, a wooden rifle-type stock was designed for Villar-Perosa, so it could be fired more or less comfortable from the shoulder, thus creating ''the first practical submachine gun in the world''. After the war, some of the original Villar-Perosa weapons (assembled from two similar guns) were disassembled into halves, and put into rifle type stocks, adding the rifle-type triggers. Such conversions were known as '''Villar Perosa OVP M1918''' (as done by Villar Perosa).
	A slightly improved version of the same design was also produced by Beretta company, and it was known as '''[[Beretta M1918]]'''. Those, Villar-Perosa is not only, practically, the first submachine gun in the world, but also a beginner of [[Beretta]]'s submachine gun traditions.
	~~As the original Villar-Perosa SMG's are rare and can hardly be seen outside of museums, those you will see in the movies are usually mock-ups from [[Beretta]] submachine guns or something like that.~~
