The Fittipaldi machine gun is a recoil-operated firearm designed by Rafael Fittipaldi (an Italian immigrant to Argentina) and patented as USPTO number 1099245 of June 9 1914. It uses the barrel of the Argentinian Mauser Model 1891 rifle as well as its bolt the latter adapted for rectilinear action. The Fittipaldi machine gun was fed by a non-disintegrating belt and used a traditional tripod as mount.
