Didn’t have a SIG KE7 with 50 rounds in Asia? my god, it only gets worse.
I couldn’t find a single source. I consulted both Chinese and Japanese literature. I searched the Japanese online archive for information (interestingly, a Chinese-made Sig Ke 7 in Guangdong was sent to Japan’s First Technical Headquarters for study). On the contrary, Chinese online articles say that versions with 50-round magazines were supplied only to Ethiopia and were chambered for a different cartridge (by the way, the magazine is indeed a bit small for the 7.92x57 cartridge).

It looks like the KE7 20 rounds was produced in Chongqing, I think that makes more sense than 15 rounds
So we have a weapon of Japan that we don’t even have sources that the Chinese received, cool
Well how then this guys got it if it was not in Asia

There are equally worse examples.

This magazine just fell out, it doesn’t have a bend like a 50 round magazine, there are no other sources besides this dubious photo.

It will be difficult for any weapon to be more dubious than the Hino Lol

The Ho Ri tank also comes to mind. Although I’m not an expert on tanks, as far as I know, according to official documentation, the tank should also have a 37mm cannon, a machine gun, and a 20mm anti-aircraft gun. As far as I know, there is an official drawing from that time, but that’s not certain.
Basically there should be something similar to this.

Oh yeah, those blurry, colorless photos where the soldier’s magazine is hidden behind an obstacle from a distance, so it’s not even fully visible. That’s not the source; you can’t even see the full magazine.

So Ian McCollum then is wrong and they never supplied them to China ? Its hard to believe that the biggest buyer never tried the 50 round magazine.

So, a better gun than a BR 3 BAR at BR 2. Suggestions never disappoint, right?
That’s why I said it should be an event weapon and because it’s very rare, it doesn’t make sense to compare an event weapon with a TT weapon, For example, now Japan has only won two KE7 50 from the event, this does not mean that we will put a BAR with 40 rounds in the TT to be the counterpart of an Event weapon.
That looks way too short for only having 5 rounds less than the standard mag
I would agree to the KE7 getting a 20 round magazine and adding to the BR2 tech tree as long as the US gets a BAR at BR2 as well, especially since they are both more or less BAR’s anyway.
Another option would be to just make the FN 1930 that both the Japanese and the Germans already have as BP MG’s, and drop them along with the US BAR or WAR to BR2. You’re more or less giving each faction the same MG at BR2. 
All could be have their ROF’s dropped into the 500’s to make them less then the BR3 versions, but pretty much all equal at BR2.
Then make the Soviet RPK 1943 tech tree and give it a 20 round magazine. See, everyone is happy, we all get our BR2 BAR’s and the Soviets get a better RPK.
See how the BAR can bring everyone together in great harmony, and we can all sit around the camp fire singing .

Can we have the W.A.R at BR2 then ? Because apparently balancing rule doesn’t apply to event and BP stuff as they are “rare”
I would like to know what “rare” means because I have 7 Lalchester 50 and 6 Thompson .30, all of them from event only (not even from the boxes). Not even mentioning the japanese Thompsons.

Yes, I don’t see a problem
If nerf the Thompson.30’ damage from 8.8 to 8.3 and the reload from 1.6s to 1.8s it could go to BR2
If nerf the damage of the Lancaster 50 from 6.8 to 6.6, the rate of fire from 690 to 640, and the reload from 2.3s to 3.1s, it could go to BR2
