Standchutze Hellriegel Submachine Gun (Austro-Hungary) [Base Game]
This is a prototype Austro-Hungarian submachine gun that may or may not be included in Battlefield 1. It looks crazy and it actually had an 80 round drum magazine.

Experimental German 08/18 Maxim SMG (Germany) [DLC 2]
Here is an article on Forgotten Weapons that talks about a prototype German submachine gun. DICE are know to put prototype weapons in their games and thus I would not be surprised if this prototype gun made it into Battlefield 1.

Villar-Perosa Submachine Gun (Italy) [In-Game Elite Weapon]
This is about the Villar-Perosa Submachine gun which looks like two guns strapped together with a big iron sight in the middle. I have seen versions of this gun with a hand held stock for infantry use. This gun can only be used on one of the Elite class pickups in game.

This is one of the few articles I could find for the Chauchat-Ribeyrolles 1918. There are three models, two of which are submachine guns and one is technically an assault rifle with a stock and magazine. The latter most version is the one that DICE ended up using. The description will explain which are which. One of the versions only has an 8-round magazine though it is described as being very powerful.

Here's a short little article that gives a breakdown of some of the stats for the Beretta M1918. Its entirely possible that DICE will follow these exactly as they typically make their weapons as close a representation to the real thing is possible.
