In the Breda, the selector allows shooting single shots, 4-round burst, or full automatic. What isn’t obvious from photos and online descriptions is the bulk of the design. While relatively short (with only an 18 inch barrel), the Breda PG is a very wide rifle, and quite heavy (11.5 pounds unloaded). This likely aids controllability when firing in automatic mode, but certainly makes the gun less appealing to carry for extended periods. Hopefully we will be able to test fire this rifle and bring you a good range video on it.</p> <p>The Breda PG uses a rising bolt design with a locking lug on the top of the receiver. As the bolt and carrier move forward under pressure from the recoil spring, the bolt is forced upwards, engaging it against the locking lug. A gas piston running inside the handguard pushes the bolt carrier back upon firing, which in turn cams the bolt downward and unlocks it.</p> <figure id="attachment_3387" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-3387" style="width: 841px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img decoding="async" data-attachment-id="3387" data-permalink="https://www.forgottenweapons.com/early-semiauto-rifles/breda-pg/bredapgbolt/" data-orig-file="https://www.forgottenweapons.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/bredapgbolt.jpg" data-orig-size="841,599" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-meta="{"aperture":"2.6","credit":"","camera":"Canon PowerShot A540","caption":"","created_timestamp":"1330174170","copyright":"","focal_length":"5.8","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0.0166666666667","title":""}" data-image-title="Breda PG bolt and bolt carrier in mid travel" data-image-description="<p>Breda PG bolt and bolt carrier in mid travel</p> " data-image-caption="<p>Breda PG bolt and bolt carrier in mid travel</p> " data-medium-file="https://www.forgottenweapons.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/bredapgbolt-300x213.jpg" data-large-file="https://www.forgottenweapons.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/bredapgbolt.jpg" class="size-full wp-image-3387" title="Breda PG bolt and bolt carrier in mid travel" src="https://www.forgottenweapons.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/bredapgbolt.jpg" alt="Breda PG bolt and bolt carrier in mid travel" width="841" height="599" srcset="https://www.forgottenweapons.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/bredapgbolt.jpg 841w, https://www.forgottenweapons.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/bredapgbolt-150x106.jpg 150w, https://www.forgottenweapons.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/bredapgbolt-300x213.jpg 300w, https://www.forgottenweapons.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/bredapgbolt-400x284.jpg 400w" sizes="(max-width: 841px) 100vw, 841px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-3387" class="wp-caption-text">Breda PG bolt and bolt carrier in mid travel</figcaption></figure> <p>We took a number of photos of the rifle and its magazine, which you can see here.
