The Breda PG (Presa Gas, meaning Gas Operated) was a prototype Italian open bolt select-fire rifle designed by Sestilio Fiorini in 1931 and produced by Breda. The rifle was produced in limited numbers and had only two customers: Italy and Costa Rica. The models sold to the Italian government were semi-auto weapons chambered in 6.5x52mm Carcano. The rifles sold to Costa Rica however were chambered in 7x57mm Mauser, and also had the capability of firing in a four-round burst in addition to semi-auto fire. They are believed to be the first automatic rifles in history to have a burst limiting feature.
