Both Italian weapons.

The machine gun is a Breda Model 30.

The rifle is some sort of Model 91, or Model 38 Carcano... probably a Cavalry Carbine Model 38 or 38TS, owing to the apparently shorter handguard, and the folding bayonet... though that could be the sling being pulled back and I'm completely off target...

The light machine gun is the Fucile Miitragilatore BREDA mod. 30. It had two good features, the weight was not too bad, and it had a quick change barrel. Other than that, the best that can be said is that it is better than a French Chauchat. Then again, throwing rocks would be better than that :D

The carbine is a M91 Moschetto per Cavalleria. The folding spike triangular bayonet and the “half stock” with the front of the barrel uncovered are the main I.D. points. The very similar M38 Cav and 38S Cav have fixed rear sights.

The T.S.,  Moschetto Truppe Speciali,  carbines were made for artillery, transport, engineering and other “special” troops, hence the name. A key I.D. for them (and there are more than six sub variant types) the cleaning rod is under the barrel, not in a butt trap, and there are no finger groves in the forend of the stock.

He he, I sort of collect Caranos, they shoot better than rumor has it.
