wouldn't say that because during World War I, the Italian front was predominantly fought in mountainous terrain, which probaly the reason he carries the gun

I would be much easier to carry if they took the wheels off, what a dumbass

[–] HubertManne@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

The wheels maybe. Just maybe. Be needed when firing. In some terrain it may be easier to lift it but judging from the picture I bet he was either telling people he can lift it or I bet he was like. Oh get one with me carrying it. Pictures were way rarer so if you had one you wanted it to be either perfect or epic.

I bet if you asked him he would not call that a "light" gun.
