Japanese Weapons
Arisaka Type 38- was the standard rifle issued to the Imperial Japanese infantry. The weapon had a high accuracy rate and proved very reliable in the adverse conditions found on the then-modern battlefield.
Type 92 Heavy Machine Gun- was a Japanese anti-tank rifle used during the Second World War. It had an automatic action which gave it the high rate of fire. On the downside the recoil from the large round was very violent.
Type 97 20mm AT- The system utilized a custom mammoth 20x124 Type 97 ammunition round which was a vast departure from the common 14mm types appearing with British, German and Soviet forces throughout World War 2. As ambitious as the weapon was, it suffered from being excessively heavy to tote around effectively on the battlefield and the recoil action was more than the traditional Japanese soldier was physically designed to handle.
