Poll - what should be done with the “Hino Komuro”?
Replace it with any other weapon that existed
Delete it and compensate players with silver/other weapons
Do nothing, I like fake weapons

Alternatively, any Dev/CM/helper is more than welcome to provide some sort of evidence of its existence during WW2 and I can start using the gun myself ingame.
If the gold orders had been preserved, it would be possible to compensate for the Hino rifle with them, but now I can barely imagine how it can be compensated for.
I think to start, the description of the rifle could include a note about the weapon’s non-historically accurate appearance in the game.
Even though I personally dislike prototypes as widespread as they are in Enlisted, there’s still a bit of charm to them, 1930-40s technology and style.
Meanwhile, completely fake/modern reproductions such as the Hino seemingly is, they just blur the lines between WW2 era tech and “MegaBlaster 1945”.
To be honest, no, fake guns should probably not be in the game, and IMOP guns that were never actually used in WW2 should not be in the game as well. Two examples I can think of are the Winchester 1866 rifle and 1877 Shotgun. Neither were used in either WW1 or WW2, and the Winchester 1866 was used by the Indians against Custer 7th Calvary in the battle of Little Big Horn. There are probably other guns that never shot a round in WW2 in the game, however Gaijin plays pretty loose with reality, so IMOP, whether fake or real, if it was not in the war it should not be part of the game. However, pandora’s box was opened by Gaijin a long time ago, so, rock on, it’s too late to worry about it now.
My opinion is to replace it. I searched Japanese search engines and found no information about the Hino rifle; I guess Japanese people don’t even know this weapon exists.
Removing gold olders was the worst mistake possible tbh all because developers werent intelligent enough to include a free GO on the new BP and allow you to get one of those weapons
If we wanted ww2 you have to cut if br5 which many would live and many would hate
Only a few like the stg44 were common enough and used in the manner of depiction.
