The '''Cei-Rigotti''' is an early selective-fire rifle designed by Major Amerigo Cei-Rigotti of the [[Royal Italian Army]] sometime around 1900. Although styled after the Italian Carcano rifle, the Cei-Rigotti was an original design, feeding from a fixed 10 round magazine and utilizing a gas-operation that allowed it to fire fully-automatic.

The Cei-Rigotti serves as a balanced, middle ranged Self-Loading Rifle, closest in performance to the [[M1907 SL]]. While the Cei-Rigotti's 6.5x52mm Carcano round does slightly less maximum damage compared to most of the other rifles, it is less affected by damage drop off, needing a maximum of four bullets to kill at all ranges, and has the second highest bullet velocity in its class behind the Mauser 7.92x57mm round fired by the [[Selbstlader 1906]] and [[Mondragón]]. The Cei-Rigotti reloads using 5-round clips, meaning that the weapon will reload faster when the player has fired either 5 or 10 shots, otherwise the player's soldier will load individual bullets one at a time, which can take longer depending on how many rounds were fired.
