Design details
The weapon was designed by Umberto Onorati; very little information of the weapon is available other than that. As no pictures of the actual weapon exist, it can be assumed that the weapon never advanced past prototype stages.The Onorati used a dual-bolt system and fed from two 20-round detachable box magazines inserted into the weapon.
