Hello everyone! Today I’ll be presenting what will be a supplementary and additional information piece, in regards to a previous weapon suggestion, “Japanese Nambu 15 Pistol” made by, @Naohmcete of which has been subsequently noted down by our very own @Euthymia07-live.
The weapon aforementioned is the Experimental Mark A Automatic Pistol, this post will primarily focus upon additional prudent information that I hope will assist in the accurate implementation of this very unique high capacity pistol.

Naturally in accordance with the concern of duplicate posts and the procedure in which they’re dealt with, if this post is closed promptly due to such that’s perfectly acceptable, as this is merely supplemental information to an already noted/forwarded weapon.
Designation & Brief production history
The name “Experimental Mark A Automatic Pistol” is a direct translation of the written designation 試製甲号自動拳銃 Shisei no go jido kenyju, it can otherwise simply be referred to as the “Experimental Mark A”.
It was a prototype built by the first producers of the “Grandpa” (Nambu Automatic Pistol Type A), “Papa” (Modified Nambu Automatic Pistol Type A) and “Baby” (Nambu Automatic Pistol Type B) Nambu pistols, fabricated at the Tokyo Artillery Arsenal and designed by Kijiro Nambu. It was first designed and began fabrication in 1920, then later produced in extremely small quantities in 1921 for private purchase.

Closing Notes
Well that’s all there really is to say about this remarkable pistol, the limited quantity and limited information leads to one only being able to show and say so much. Nevertheless I hope you found this additional information interesting, and for the Devs I hope it will be helpful.
Until next time 
considering this weapon has already been noted and this is just assisting with further information I’ll just put a poll about what name it should have in game. There’s not much else to really put otherwise so idk ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
