Type 4 Version 1

Variant Key Characteristics (Inferred from development history)
1st Variant Early prototypes; significant reliability issues; weak gas piston; poor component durability. FandomFandom
2nd Variant Minor strengthening and adjustments; still prone to jamming and feed issues. HandWikiHandWiki
3rd Variant Intermediate improvement stage—reinforced internal components, improved gas‑system durability, and refinements to address jamming. This corresponds to mid‑development rifles before the final “Type 5” improvements. (Inference based on documented progression.) American RiflemanAmerican Rifleman
4th Variant Further refinement approaching the improved “Type 5” configuration.
5th Variant Final and most reliable form; strengthened return spring and gas piston; often associated with the “Type 5” designation. FandomFandom

i hope i have not done this before but the type 4 went through 5 development stages perhaps giving to the misunderstood type 5 designation. the first variant seeks to have a slightly different stock and magazine. how this affects the gun is not know but the v1 would fit well a the same br3 as the type 4. or a br4 if the stats were buffed by letting the type4V1 operate by normal magazine rather than stripper clipsy.
