The new weapons of the Japanese army: The Type 4 semi-automatic rifle of the Japanese Navy


This picture shows an early version of the Type 4 rifle, which can also be referred to as the naval model.

This picture shows a common model of the Type 4 rifle, which is the one we currently have in our game.

By comparing, we can see that the earlier models had a thicker grip at the magazine position and a larger curve, completely imitating the M1 Garand rifle. This design was removed from the common models.
Given the lack of weapons in Japan, perhaps we can consider them as two distinct new types of weapons.

Moreover, the early model of the 4-barrel rifle was developed by the navy. Perhaps this could lead to the formation of a cool naval team!

Do you wish to see the Japanese naval infantry squad carrying this rifle join our battlefield?
Their data should be completely identical.

What performance differences did it had compared to the late version anyway?

Both the late and early versions of the Type 4 rifle were Japanese Navy projects, not Army ones! In theory, they could make a 9-man premium squad with the early version, even though the Type 4 isn’t the best rifle.
