This video delves into the Japanese 7.65mm Hamada Pistol, a rare military firearm produced by a private commercial firm. Introduced in 1940, the Type Hamada is a blowback-operated .32 ACP handgun stylistically reminiscent of the Browning Model 1910. Approximately 5000 were manufactured during World War II, with most deployed to China. The video notes that Western collections often feature examples from a specific serial number range, suggesting a batch rerouted to the Pacific and occasionally captured by US troops. It also briefly touches upon the later development of the Type 2 Hamada in 8mm Nambu for logistical simplification.
