The Carcano M1938 is an Italian bolt-action rifle featured in Call of Duty 2: Big Red One, and briefly seen in a trailer of Call of Duty: Black Ops. It was standard issue to Royal Italian Army troops during World War II.

"Based on a design dating back to 1891, a similar Italian rifle was linked to the JFK assassination in 1963. Bolt-action, 7.35mm caliber 6-round clip."
— Description

The Carcano M1938 (referred to as Carcano M38 in the Bonus Materials) appears briefly in the campaign mission "Operation Husky", but cannot be used by the player. It is later seen once again in the campaign mission "Piano Lupo", in which it can be picked up and used. Ammunition is commonly available in "Piano Lupo", making it a good weapon to pick up, rather than keeping the starting weapons. Like other bolt-action rifles in the game, it will kill an enemy with one shot to the upper body.

A National Archives file photo of the Carcano that was used to assassinate President Kennedy is seen very briefly in the Call of Duty: Black Ops teaser trailer, with the words "Lee Harvey Oswald" in the bottom right corner of the screen. However, it is never actually used, or seen in the final game. It was most likely put in for dramatic effect, because of the speculation of Mason's role in the Kennedy assassination.

Trivia[]

Call of Duty 2: Big Red One[]

  • The Carcano has a front sight, but it's not used when aiming down the rifle's sights: this is the result of the weapon's iron sights being misaligned, like all the other weapons in Call of Duty 2: Big Red One.
