The 6.5 × 52 mm is a slender, rimless, bottlenecked case, brass with Berdan or Boxer priming. A bullet unique to this cartridge was the 'Frangible Loading' which was designed to break up into several anti-personnel fragments after striking any hard surface. The standard ball round has a round-nosed bullet, while armour-piercing bullets have a pointed ogive. Dating from 1891 this cartridge is characteristic of several closely related Mannlicher designs. The Mannlicher-Carcano rifles and carbines and various machine

guns chambered for this cartridge were standard equipment of the Italian Army from the 1890s to the 1940s, and after their obsolescence in Italy were distributed far and wide, particularly in the Horn of Africa. As with all 'pure' Mannlicher designs the cartridges are clip loaded, the clip forming an integral part of the feed system. Compatible platforms include italian service Mannlicher-Carcano rifles and carbines, Revelli, SIA, Fiat and Breda machine guns.
