Add another Br 5 TT assault weapons for Japan (not copy paste)

[Tunisian_Megumin]

So far, Japan only have 1 TT assault weapon in Br5, despite it has a good rate of fire, its damage is low. I think adding another one for Japan is necessary.
Here are 3 weapons that I think we can add in the tech tree, none of them are copy paste weapons and I’ve already wrote topic about each of them.

1.M1921 Thompson 50

Thompson M1921(drum mag) for Japan

I just found a document about captured weapons from Chinese army, in 1932 Japan captured the 50 and 100 round drum magazine of the Thompson M1921. [image] Since Japan only have 1 BR5 submachinegun and the damage is low, it’s necessary to give them the M1921(50) as TT weapons. As for the 100 round magazine, I think it’s better to be added as premium squad weapons, because Japan is the only country that doesn’t have a BR5 guerrilla squad.

2. Type 17 assault machine gun
   It’s a Chinese copy of the M1923 Thompson, chambered in .45 ACP, and has the same ROF(810 rounds/m) of the Thompson 7.63(also based on M1923) and M1928 Thompson.
   However, its damage would be higher(8.8)due to its 14 inch barrel. So it’s like a 50 round version of the Thompson .30 but with slower rate of fire.
   
   

Type 17 assault machine gun as Japanese BP weapons

In 1928, Taiyuan Arsenal made a copy version of the Thompson M1923, and named it ‘‘Type 17 assault machine gun’’. With the longer barrel and a straight stock. During WW2, Japan captured this gun from the Chinese army, which has a 50 rounds drum magazine. [image] The original M1923’s rate of fire is 400 rounds per minute in order to fire the .45 Remington–Thompson (11.4x25mm).However, the Type 17 still chambered in .45 ACP, which means that the rate of fire might still as same as an ordinary …

3. Fedorov Avtomat M1923
   The M1923 is the later version of the Fedorov Avtomat, it has a front sight cover, different rear sight, and its cleaning rod is removed. The Japanese may have confused the production year with the model designation, since production of the Fedorov rifles ended in 1925.
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   

Captured Soviet weapons for Japanese premium squad(not copy paste)

In the late 1930s, Japan captured various weapons from Soviet, such as AVS-36, Fedorov Avtomat, and DT-29. [image] [image] [image] In my opinion, these captured weapons could be used by Asano Brigade and added as a premium squad. [image] As for their weapons, here are two options that is not in game.

Fedorov Avtomat 1923

I know this sketch is already discussed in other topics, but after looking for other Fedorov’s variants, I found that it’s more like the Fedorov Avtomat 1923 and not the …

I thought you said no copy paste weapons lol

[GROOT0404]

None of them are copy paste. The US has variants of the M1921AC or 1921/28 in their TT or as Premium and event weapons. And Japan has a 20 round version of the gun.

The Fedorov Avtomat is not the one suggested here ither and the Type 17 is a copy of a Thompson M1923 of which no version are included in the game.
