I have indicated two primary sources where the rate of fire is 750-800 rpm, which is actually higher than usual for Japanese weapons. In addition, I will repeat myself, except for Internet sites and books that copy each other’s information, I have never seen a rate of fire of 600 rpm anywhere in official documents (and believe me, I have looked at a lot of documents on the topic of Japanese submachine guns). At the same time, as I already said, the game has an incorrect rate of fire for the early Type 100, which is 700 rpm. Killerwolf1024 made an excellent thread about this, who cited three convincing sources, including the feelings of one of the shooters. Also, in American reports before 1945, the Type 99 machine gun has a rate of fire of 800 rpm, although all Japanese sources, including even late Japanese manuals on Japanese weapons, indicate 550 rpm, but good luck finding a book where the rate of fire would not be 800 rpm. In general, at the moment, from primary sources we only have values of 750-800 rpm, and we do not find 600 rpm anywhere except books and Internet sources, and it seems clear to me which source will be more correct. Also, thanks for passing it on! It seems to me that Type 2 is very weak for 4 BR, with a 20% increased rate of fire it will become noticeably better, in turn, Type 100 early with a rate of fire of 700 rpm can be moved to 2 BR as a direct analogue of PPS 43.
personally… PPS-43 is BR III weapon lol

Also, changes in the design of the casing could also affect the rate of fire, since it is mobile and participates in the shooting.
yes argue with AI hallucinations to give you more AI hallucinations. there is reason why AI is not considered reliable source of information. at least check with original sources if grok actually quotes them.
