The description details its development as a redesign of the .32ACP Type Hamada to accommodate the 8mm Nambu cartridge, mandated by the Japanese Army in 1943. It highlights the logistical challenges of production, including the use of a former textile factory and machinery from the Torimatsu factory. The video likely explores the scarcity of surviving examples, suggesting a significant loss of production during or after World War II, with only a few early, unfinished examples known to exist.
