The Villar-Perosa M15 was an Italian double-barrel automatic weapon produced during World War I. Originally manufactured as a defensive armament for two-seat aircraft, a modified variant saw use by ground forces from 1917 onwards. Although not originally designed as such, the portable, pistol-calibre automatic has many characteristics of a submachine gun and can be considered one of the earliest examples to enter mass-production.

| - The Villar-Perosa M15 was an Italian double-barrel automatic weapon produced during World War I. Originally manufactured as a defensive armament for two-seat aircraft, a modified variant saw use by ground forces from 1917 onwards. Although not originally designed as such, the portable, pistol-calibre automatic has many characteristics of a submachine gun and can be considered one of the earliest examples to enter mass-production. The weapon consists of two automatic receivers connected side-by-side, with each being fed from its own top loaded 25 round magazine. Due to its lineage, the Villar-Perosa lacks a conventional pistol grip or stock and instead has the spade-grip design of a crew-served weapon. Later in the war, some of these guns were dismantled and rebuilt as more practical infantry weapons, with one such design being the Beretta M1918.
