'''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).
== Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade ==
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.


__TOC__
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.

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. IRMacGuyver (talk) 06:54, 30 June 2023 (UTC)
