This video delves into Japan's Modified Nambu Automatic Pistol Type A, colloquially known as the "Papa" Nambu. It details its introduction in 1906 as an improvement on the original "Grandpa" Nambu, its production until 1923 at the Tokyo Artillery Arsenal and later by Tokyo Gas & Electric. The video highlights key differences from the "Grandpa" Nambu, including a larger trigger guard, swiveling lanyard loop, no stock slot, and a redesigned magazine. Although marked "Army Type," it was primarily adopted by the Navy but also purchased by Army officers. Production ceased due to the 1934 Tokyo earthquake and the subsequent adoption of the Type 14 by the Army and Navy.
