Arisaka Type 99
This video focuses on the Arisaka Type 99 rifle, a bolt-action firearm used by the Imperial Japanese Army during World War II. The description details its development, stemming from the need for a new rifle cartridge to replace the Type 38's 6.5×50mm round, aligning with the superior 7.7mm cartridge of the Type 92 heavy machine gun. The Type 99 was based on the Type 38 but chambered in 7.7mm and was produced across nine arsenals, including locations in Japan, Manchukuo, and Korea.
