All versions of Type Ko, Type Hei, Type Otsu rifles

[_DELAVR]

They are introducing events where half of the rewards are only available for donation.

Made a BP where players without full access can’t buy 4 weapons from the BP.

Now in BP you can’t get 100 gold! You could after 9 months (9 BPs) buy yourself a BP, but no!

They said one of the perks of the new BP was that it was 30 days, but they extended it to 46 days!

It’s time for us to unite like never before! It’s obvious what the game is turning into (it already has). I suggest not to play and not to write threads on the forum to all not indifferent! I just want the best for this game.

The Type Ko’s optic mount looks weird in-game, it should look like this:

Length of rifles without bayonet.

The mass of the Type Ko short is not known, probably because there were many such versions.

According to some reports Type Hey late is designed for 7.7x58mm cartridge.

Automatic Type Hei with 20-round magazine (available in game):

well this one is not yet in game the version we have is 30 rounds

[_DELAVR]

Corrected.

[Adamnpee]

Wow, very good topic.

[Suzumebachi14]

Nice! There is also this pic that SzepWaxweiler has posted on my topic where it shows the first prototype of the Type Hei, and I don’t think it is in your list.

[Suzumebachi14]

Well, by looking at the Type Ko of this pic, I don’t think it is in this list either.

[SzepWaxweiler]

Somthing else to mention that type otsu carbine the small variant was tested with 10 round magazine

[_DELAVR]

@Suzumebachi14

on my topic where it shows the first prototype of the Type Hei, and I don’t think it is in your list.

No, that version is in the thread, but I didn’t pay much attention to it.

@_DELAVR

Type Hei early with 10 round magazine (available in game):

@_DELAVR

Type Hei early with 5 round magazine (available in game):

Actually this version is slightly but different from the one we have in the game, it has no gas regulator, the front sight has been shifted to the end of the barrel and other minor changes.

The version we have in the game is in a review by Ian McCollum.

@Suzumebachi14

Well, by looking at the Type Ko of this pic, I don’t think it is in this list either.

It’s very similar to this version, but without the barrel liner.

@_DELAVR

Type Ko short №1 (not in game):

There are actually much earlier shop powered prototypes, but unfortunately we have almost no photos.

@SzepWaxweiler

Somthing else to mention that type otsu carbine the small variant was tested with 10 round magazine

Funny, I said there was a 5 round version in the game, but I forgot that there were versions with a 10 round magazine, although it still says so in the table. But I’ll add it anyway.

[Suzumebachi14]

I was talking about the second picture of the Type Hei, the one under the Nambu prototype drawing. You’ve shown the third pic, which is indeed in your thread. It is “Nippon Special Steel’s first prototype” so I assume it is the first prototype of the Type Hei, and it doesn’t look like any of the ones in your thread.

[_DELAVR]

LOL.
For some reason I never noticed it and thought it was a Pedersen rifle. Well, in that case I have a picture that doesn’t have the warp from the page bend.

Anyway, one photo is very little to add it to the game .

[Suzumebachi14]

I know, I just said that if you wanted to have the most complete list possible, not because it has to be in the game.

The Type Ko’s optic mount looks weird in-game, it should look like this:

Its not really weird, just was modeled on the optic mount of the Kō carbine “№2”

But yeah you’re right it should look different on the “№3” carbine

[Suzumebachi14]

By looking closely at the two pictures you provided, I am 90% sure that the picture of the book is a different version from the one with the coloured and detailed pictures: the biggest difference I have noticed is the position of the metallic circles for the sling: on the book pic, they are located on the lower part of the rifle, while on the coloured detailed pic, these circles are located on the left side of the rifle. And if the first and second rifles were the same, we should at least see a mark under the stock of the second rifle, where the metallic circle for the sling is fixed on the pic of the first rifle, but there are no such marks of screws or pierced holes on the lower part of the stock of the second rifle. You can add the barrel liner difference that you pointed out with this sling metallic circle location difference, and I am even 99% sure that these rifles are two different ones, and not one that could have been modified afterwards.


The two pics for everyone to see the difference I noticed.

[SzepWaxweiler]

The picture in the book is different that’s right after few research I found something the name of the gun in that picture is Shisei jidou shoujyu ko-data or prototype type Ko rifle wich just a pederson rifle made to accept type 30 bayonet and they put on a Mannlicher rotary magazine for 6.5 thats why the end of the rifle looks weird cause its a Pederson rifle end

You can see it the end looks very similar but my source might be wrong

[_DELAVR]

It looks very much like this particular version was tested together with the Nambu Type 1 and Type 96. But I could be wrong.

[Suzumebachi14]

The shape of the buttstocks of the two rifles seem too different in my opinion: the Type Ko seems to have a bigger stock than the normal Pedersen rifle: it would make sense if it was the opposite, with the Type Ko having a thinner stock than the Pedersen they could have converted, they would just have to shave some wood from the Pedersen stock to make the “new” Type Ko, but what happens is the opposite, and I don’t really know how can anyone add a few millimeters of wood on the stock of an already existing rifle in the 1930s. So I don’t think the source is really accurate, but don’t worry, I don’t blame you: I saw that the Type Hei late was chambered in 7.7 mm on one of the websites in russian I found on the forum, but I have not seen any other source say the same thing, so I too, have doubts.

[Suzumebachi14]

It really looks like it when we look at the sling circles’location and the end of the barrel. I think you found a match.

[Suzumebachi14]

Anyway, it looks like I will have to add a lot more things on my topic, and I haven’t even planned to do the tanks and planes yet.
