I've heard a rumour they also bought the short action Gladio V in .308 for training rifles in order to keep costs down and train more effectively.

The magazines are capped in the Short Action at 7 rounds for training purposes to be equal to the magazine capacity of the larger rifle.

Can anyone confirm this?

With all due respect, please correct your Title. Italy is no longer a Realm (since 1947), and as it is ruled by Democrats (read communists wearing 10k€ suits) actively turning it into a nightmare version of Commiefornia, would call you a Fascist in no time.
As far as the news is concerned maybe @one shot ST could be willing to shed some light on the matter

They're looking for that guy's pistol. Looks like it's lanyard time!

Italy is sending troops to war with Fanny packs?

I saw one at Bass Pro. On sale for $4950.00. But had just moved to Alabama. So I had to wait to be a resident. Watching online. And the day before I became a resident. They sold the last one. I wanted one in 300 Winchester Magnum. In a way I’m glad. Because they haven’t really taken off here in the States. And I‘m sure getting parts would be next to impossible.
