* The carbine version of Carcano M91, known as M91/28 TS(Moschetto per Truppe Specialli/Carbine for Special Troops) had built-in grenade launcher attached at the right side of the carbine, known as M28 con Tromboncino(little trombone). The grenade launcher operation was unique; since the carbine and the grenade launcher has shared same trigger once its pushed, the operator should remove the carbine bolt to grenade launcher device, and so on. Interestingly, like a Dyakonov Grenade Launcher Device which found at Mosin Rifle, M28 Tromboncino Grenade Launcher Device used live rounds in order to launch the SR.2 spigot-type grenade 38.5mm spigot-type grenade where the bullet will be caught by the cup inside the device. The weapon was used in service during WWII which issued for MG support crew and any other-than frontline role. M28 con Tromboncino was decommissioned in 1934 due the heavy weight which hamper maneuverability.
