The Beretta Model 1918 (Italian: Moschetto Automatico Beretta Mod.1918) was a submachine gun introduced late in World War I based on the Villar Perosa aircraft gun. The weapon features an unconventional overhead inserted magazine designed to assist loading and chambering of rounds using gravity. The weapon was the first submachine gun to be used by the Italian Armed Forces during the conflict and is possibly the first of its type to be used as a general-issue combat weapon. The M1918 also saw usage with Albania and Argentina.

— In-game description
The Automatico M1918 is a weapon featured in Battlefield 1 for the Assault kit. The Automatico M1918 has an extremely high fire rate of 900 RPM. With this high fire rate, aiming down sights is only a nominal ability with very little actual use in long-range engagements due to the high recoil. Therefore, the weapon is most effective at extremely close quarters; within this distance, however, the Automatico M1918 is nearly unrivaled thanks to its very high rate of fire. The very quick reload time (on par with a pistol) allows one to reload between every kill, assuming they do not empty the magazine before reloading.
Singleplayer
The Automatico M1918 Factory is the standard weapon of Italian assaults in Avanti Savoia! In addition, Luca Vincenzo Cocchiola starts with a Trench variant as his secondary weapon during the O La Vittoria.
The weapon is also used by 369th Infantry Regiment submachine gunners during Storm of Steel.
The Trench variant can be picked up from crates in Through Mud and Blood.
