Ford discusses its design by Colonel Arisaka Nariakira, its use by the Imperial Japanese Army during World War II, and its key features like the wire monopod and anti-aircraft sight. The description also mentions the rifle was chambered in 7.7x58mm and produced in four variants: Short, Long, Paratroop, and Sniper, noting that late-war "last ditch" models are characterized by crude manufacturing and poor finishes.

This video conducts a "torture test" on a Japanese Arisaka rifle to debunk common WWII GI rumors about the rifle's poor quality and tendency to explode. The video aims to demonstrate that the Arisaka is a well-made and strong bolt-action rifle, potentially the strongest of WWII. It suggests they can be converted into attractive sporting rifles. The creators encourage viewers to submit requests for future torture tests.
