| Notes | The Brixia Modello 35 was used to provide light supporting fire to the infantry companies. It was issued at battalion level, with each battalion containing nine mortars and these were parcelled out to each infantry company. It had a good rate of fire but lacked power due to the small round. It was widely used and saw action on every front. |
