	The '''OVP''' was developed by Bethel-Abiel Revelli in 1917 and produced by Officine di Villar Perosa as a variation of the Villar Perosa, taking the form of a single-barreled stocked carbine rather than a twin-barreled mounted weapon. It was intended as a collapsible takedown gun for pilots, featuring a detachable wooden buttstock that allowed it to be compacted inside the cockpit of a plane. The firing mechanism, chambering, and magazines were identical to that of the Villar Perosa, but the components were mostly made from scratch and were not recycled from existing examples of the Villar Perosa. Built with a twin trigger group permitting fully-automatic fire and single shots, the OVP was one of the earliest "true" submachine guns ever made, and was adopted for service with the Corpo Aernautico Militare in 1918. It was not, however, issued as an infantry weapon, a role that would instead be filled by the later Revelli-Beretta carbine.

	First produced in 1930, the M1918/30 was an update of the earlier M1918 (though not a direct conversion - the weapons were manufactured new), intended as a simple carbine for police use (a role in which it found success in Argentina; the Italian Forestry Corps also adopted the weapon); changes from the original design include the use of new straight magazines (holding 10 or 25 rounds) fed in through the bottom of the receiver (a configuration tested on the M1918, but not adopted), a ring-shaped cocking handle at the rear replacing the previous side-mounted handle, and perhaps most significantly, a conversion to closed-bolt operation, using a spring-loaded firing pin struck by a conventional hammer.

Pyr0m4n14c: /* Villar Perosa M1915 */ I figured it would be beneficial to have images of the two "normal" configurations of this thing, since it's so often misunderstood. If anyone can find a better image of a genuine air-pattern VP, please upload it.

	An modifying an isolated M1915 receiver into an portable weapon, officially known as "Moschetto Automatico Revelli"/"Revelli Automatic Rifle", evolved from the more early Fiat-OVP M1916 prototype. It was tested already in early 1917, and presumably produced in small quantities before the end of the war.

	As with the Beretta, WWI use is controversial; there are allegations that only about 500 were produced before the end of the war (or perhaps even for the entire period in general), and were only used to a limited extent by aviators. OVP ~~will be~~ presumably also produced later in the 1920s (although due to the confusion of even the original sources, the exact years and amount of production are not yet clear, so it is not known for certain whether there was real production, or only attempts at a commercial offer), with limited use in subsequent conflicts as early as the 1930s.
