The Type 38 Rifle is a rifle many players have familiar them selves with, and the carbine being the default rifle for Japan, there’s actually a third production model of the Type 38 that was made during ww2.
The short rifle variant of the Type 38 is the less talked about model between rifle and carbine, while it did seen action it was commonly seen use by the navy but it didn’t mean infantry didn’t get to use it ether.
And with it a experimental model that you would see around the forums here and there, was a Arasaka Type 38 short rifle.
There’s some disinformation about the rifle, like it being a semi automatic rifle. But in reality it was a T38 short rifle where the magazine was converted to use the Type 96 lmg magazine, very interesting nonetheless about the rifle
