Who designed the bolt-action rifle routinely issued to Italian colonial troops, alongside the Schwarzlose machine gun?
Ferdinand Ritter von Mannlicher
Schwarzlose machine gun
The Maschinengewehr (Schwarzlose) M. 7, also known as the Schwarzlose MG, is a medium machine-gun, used as a standard issue firearm in the Austro-Hungarian Army throughout World War I.
 It was utilized by the Dutch, Greek and Hungarian armies during World War II.
 It was routinely issued to Italian colonial troops, alongside the Mannlicher M1895 rifle.
Mannlicher M1895
The Mannlicher M1895 (German: "Infanterie Repetier-Gewehr M.95" , Hungarian: "Gyalogsági Ismétlő Puska M95" ; "Infantry Repeating-Rifle M95") is a bolt-action rifle, designed by Ferdinand Ritter von Mannlicher that used a refined version of his revolutionary straight-pull action bolt, much like the Mannlicher M1890 carbine.
 It was nicknamed the "Ruck-Zu(rü)ck" (German slang for "back and forth") by Austrian troops and "Ta-Pum" by Italian troops who even wrote a song about it during World War I.
Primorsky Military District
The Primorsky (Maritime Provinces) Military District was formed on September 30, 1945 on the territory of Primorsky Krai (territory of the former Ussuri Oblast), from HQ 1st Far East Front.
 Under its control also were the troops stationed on the territory of North Korea (25th Army) and the Kwantung Peninsula (39th Army).
 The district headquarters was in the city of Voroshilov (Ussuriisk).
 Troops stationed in Primorsky Krai were the 5th and 35th Armies.
 Air support was provided by the 9th Air Army.
 The 35th Army, the 17th Rifle Corps and the 105th, 187th, 190th, 231st, 235th, 335th, 345th, 363rd, 365th and 366th Rifle Divisions were disbanded.
 The 5th Army's two tank divisions, the 2nd and 3rd, were the only Soviet tank divisions in the Far East.
 The 25th Army's 39th and 88th Rifle Corps were disbanded in August 1946.
 Also during the summer of 1946, 39th Army's 91st Guards, 252nd, 338th and 358th Rifle Divisions were converted into the 4th, 25th and 26th Guards Machine Gun Artillery Brigades.
 In 1947, these became the 25th Guards Machine Gun Artillery Division.
 39th Army's 113th Rifle Corps disbanded in January 1947.
 25th Army pulled out of North Korea in 1948 and was stationed in southern Primorsky Krai on Sino-North Korean border and on the coast of the Peter the Great Gulf.
 By 1948, the army only included the 10th Mechanized and 40th Rifle Divisions, as its other units had all disbanded before 1948. M2 Browning
The M2 Machine Gun or Browning .50 Caliber Machine Gun is a heavy machine gun designed toward the end of World War I by John Browning.
 Its design is similar to Browning's earlier M1919 Browning machine gun, which was chambered for the .30-06 cartridge.
 The M2 uses the much larger and much more powerful .50 BMG cartridge, which was developed alongside and takes its name from the gun itself (BMG standing for "Browning Machine Gun").
 It has been referred to as "Ma Deuce", in reference to its M2 nomenclature.
 The design has had many specific designations; the official designation for the current infantry type is Browning Machine Gun, Cal.
 .50, M2, HB, Flexible.
 It is effective against infantry, unarmored or lightly armored vehicles and boats, light fortifications and low-flying aircraft.
 The M2 has been produced longer than any other machine gun. Savage Model 110
The Savage Model 110 is a repeating bolt-action rifle that was developed by Savage Arms of Westfield, Massachusetts.
 The Model 110 was designed by Nicholas L. Brewer in 1958 and was patented posthumously in 1963.
 It has been in continuous production since that time, and with the closing of Winchester's New Haven, Connecticut, plant in 2007, the Model 110 has passed the Winchester Model 70 as the oldest continuously manufactured bolt-action rifle in America. Madsen M47
The Madsen Lightweight Military Rifle (or the Madsen Lightweight Military Rifle Model 1947; commonly abbreviated as M47) is a Danish bolt-action rifle designed to be chambered for a wide range of contemporary military cartridges.
 The M47 was the last bolt-action rifle designed with the intention of being general issue to infantry troops.
 The M47 was first available for purchase in 1951, primarily marketed to countries which could not afford semi-automatic rifles for their militaries.
 However, with the unprecedented availability of low-cost surplus small arms and the rapid proliferation of self-loading rifles after World War II, global demand for such a rifle was very low and the M47 received very little commercial interest. 1939 Infantry Regiment (Poland)
The Polish Infantry Regiment during World War 2 (in Polish Pulk Piechoty) comprised on average some 2,900 men and 60 officers organised around 3 rifle battalions armed with the Mauser 98k 7.92mm bolt-action rifle.
 Each 19-man squad was also issued the RKM wz.28 light machine gun.
 Other regimental weapons included the Polish version of the French Model 1897 75-mm field gun, the Wz.
 35 anti-tank rifle, the Ckm wz.30 heavy machine gun, the wz.31 81 mm mortar, and the wz.36 46mm light mortar/grenade launcher. Degtyaryov machine gun
The Degtyaryov machine gun (Russian: Пулемёт Дегтярёвa Пехотный "Pulemyot Degtyaryova Pekhotny" "Degtyaryov's infantry machine gun") or DP-28 is a light machine gun firing the 7.62×54mmR cartridge that was used primarily by the Soviet Union starting in 1928.
 The DP machine gun was supplemented in the 1950s by the more modern RPD machine gun and entirely replaced in Soviet service by the general purpose PK machine gun in the 1960s. Royal Corps of Colonial Troops
The Royal Corps of Colonial Troops (Italian: "Regio Corpo Truppe Coloniali" or RCTC) was a corps of the Italian armed forces, in which all the Italian colonial troops were grouped until the end of World War II in Africa.
 About 60,000 eritreans askaris fought for the italians St. Étienne Mle 1907
The French St. Étienne Mle 1907 (French: "Mitrailleuse Mle 1907 T" ) was a gas operated air-cooled machine gun in 8mm Lebel which was widely used in the early years of the First World War.
 The "St.Etienne Mle 1907" was not derived from the Hotchkiss machine gun.
 Instead it was an entirely different gas operated blow-forward design borrowed from the semi-automatic Bang rifle of 1903.
 This Bang system was first transposed in 1905 to the French Puteaux APX Machine Gun which soon proved to be unsatisfactory.
 Then, two years later, the Mle 1907 "St-Etienne" machine gun followed as an improved redesign of the "Puteaux" machine gun.
 However the Mle 1907 "Saint Etienne" was only a partial redesign : the original blow-forward gas piston, rack-and-pinion system, and bolt mechanism of the Mle 1905 " Puteaux" machine gun had all been kept only slightly modified inside the newer weapon.
 Eventually a total of over 39,700 "St-Etienne" Mle 1907 machine guns were manufactured between 1908 and late 1917.
 They were widely used by French infantry during the early part of World War I until their replacement by the distinctly more reliable Hotchkiss M1914 machine-gun.
