On September 5, 1939, 4th Cavalry Brigade was put directly under North China Area Army. Again with the Group, it was assigned to Mongolia Garrison Army in February 1939.

A great weapon with the level one/zero rider or horse class this gun would be a lot of fun for japan. who has many bag machine guns with the hopper design. which while fun to use, partial reloads are a unique feature to these gun which is fun. but a higher capacity machine gun would not feel out of place in the japan tech tree.
