In the late 1930s to the early 1940s, an unknown number of Type 38 rifles were converted into short rifles at Nagoya Arsenal, that did all rebuilds of Type 38 and Type 44 rifles and carbines.[18] The barrels were shortened to 635 mm (25.0 in) from the standard 794 mm (31.3 in) barrel and the stock shortened to match the barrel while the handguard retained its original length.[19] The result is a Type 38 which is similar in size to the Arisaka Type 99 short rifle. There is no consistency to serial numbers or arsenal marks as the rifles were converted from existing stock. Although total production is unknown, it is estimated that approximately 100,000 were converted.[20].
it could be event stuff for low br players, and for the same question why all other nations have similar stuff for events or premiums but when japs are said people say no, welp that my answer for you
to be blunt not much exists for br4/5 in the way of guns/tanks
planes for days in every br
most br3 would be variants of existing rifles
not to muddy up the tech tree well not all of them
just fun to see what is missing, there purely japanese to boot
Type 22 Murata Bolt Action Carbine. . Japanese Type I Carcano Rifle
There is also an example of the Siam Mauser Type 46 rifle, which can also be added to the Japanese technology line, because Japan once made it for Siam
