the S-18/100 and S-18/1000 are very different, the M.38 was the S-18/1000.

ahh shit i mean S-18/1000

Which one did the German faction get and which one did the Japanese obtain?

Different ones or the same one?

German use both 100 and 1000 version while Japan bought 1 S-18/100 for trial.
Italy main AT Rifle is S-18/1000 alongside the smaller Wz 35 AT rifle
KNIL bought 72 S-18/1000 and use them during Battle of Dutch east indies
The 100 version use smaller 20x105mm cartridge while the 1000 version use the standard 20x138mm cartridge (the same cartridge used by Flak 30/38), heavier (almost the same as Type 97 AT rifle) and come with optical sight as standard sight

It is the S18-100 version that is in the game am I correct?

yep, mostly used by the Hungarian because they license the production of it.

I added the 1000 version with scope because I think it is an intresting variation of the weapon.

The S-18/100 in game also could mount optical sight but unfortunately DF didn’t include them

You can take a look at this website; it might have some content.

Impressive I love seeing the dedication this small community has to the game, keep up the work and enlisted might one day become the game we know it can be

Wow were actually getting the assault rifle … thats kinda nice

With the weapon’s characteristics being 3-4 BR :expressionless:. And based on the single photograph, the Nambu assault rifle does not have barrel jacket holes or a bayonet lug…

In any case, there is currently a vote on the Ru Forum under the topic regarding what to do with the Nambu assault rifle; sources cited earlier in the thread indicate a different magazine capacity, perhaps this will influence something:

Yeah its silly. It should have its 30 round mag and higher damage at least. But yeah, stil happy the Japanese faction at least gts something.

We should get a vote like this up on the English forum as well.

Isnt that a hunter version that uses shotgun shells though? I know Murata shotgun is mentioned below but this image looks like it

I might have confused them. Are you sure this is the Shotgun? Then I will remove the bolt action one

Most Murata shotgun is converted from the single shot Murata, so it’s understandable if you got mixed

Not really, but when you search for Murata shotgun you get exactly the same looking rifle (sorry I just noticed the reply)
It also makes some sense as hunting rifles do look this way kinda (Sporterized)
