Breda shotguns have earned a global reputation among hunters and competitive shooters alike. This success stems from a legacy of innovation that traces back to the early 20th century, when Breda emerged as a key Italian military contractor. From the trench warfare of World War I to the battlefields of World War II, Breda pioneered groundbreaking firearms like the Breda Modello PG automatic rifle and the Breda M37 heavy machine gun.
In the aftermath of WWII, Breda embarked on a new chapter, applying their expertise to the civilian market by producing shotguns for hunting and sporting purposes. This 1947 milestone marked the beginning of Breda's journey to becoming a world-renowned brand in the civilian firearms industry. However, Breda's military roots remain strong to this day, as the company continues to work on cutting-edge projects for Italian and NATO forces.

Additionally, Breda serves as a vital NATO contractor, contributing to the production of advanced artillery ammunition like Leonardo’s Vulcano 155, among others. These military projects highlight the breadth of Breda's expertise and their ability to adapt to the evolving needs of both civilian and military clients.
