They might have won more battles if they weren’t full of themselves and obsessed with front line charges. Also: Flamethrowers were extremely effective.
In China, they have mortar that loops grenades over into the Trench or Hill sides, or castle defend, so is their Artillery can bust down most defend the local have. Japanese tanks were in abundances and suits for policing tasks and lock down regional highway and other transportation route. Japanese Small arms collected were design to be easily replaces, and they taken considering into the cost of productions, and simplification of parts into consideration. The Type 26 and Nambu Type 14 are both domestic product, while they aren't as strong as 9mm Lugers pistol, both 8mm Nambu and 9mm Japanese do enough, but the main point is to have them, at the ready in abundance quantity, and most officers carry their own purchase pistol anyway. Arisaka rifles is bases on a numbers of rifles, but they re-engineer the Swedish 6.5mm Mausers whiles following Italian design principal, result in something that look as fancy as other Mausers rifle, but is very simplify, the round 6.5mm in general are less expensive to produces, have lower recoils which make it's easy to aims, and training troops. LMG on the other hands, fit into a SWAT automatic weapons, more than traditional role MG42 and the like fit into. The Type 92, 94 Tankette with it's machine guns variant and 37mm cannon variants works as very cheap IFV, more or less an armored compact Technical that works as a pill box and drawn opposition fires, as well as cover for infantry, but the best thing about this tanks is, for every 10 soldiers, you will be expected to see one. Type 97 The Ke is a cheap upgrade to the Type 94. The I-Go tanks, the Japanese first battle tanks, were outdated and they just thrown them at everything so they can replace them, still it is a good IFV light tanks (despite having the speed of a turtle, must be why they want to replace them, that and it's being too tall) that works as a bunker busters, can block small arms well enough. The Type 95 Ha-Go arms with the 37mm cannon and Type 97 Chi-Ha with the 57mm cannon tanks are Japanese MBT of this period, The Type 95 Ha-Go is a typical colonial polices tanks, it is fast, fairly easy to repairs and not that expensive to produces. Against nothing short of anti-tank weapons, it's would be destroys asides from those, which China troops had access to little and not all regions have then. The Type 97 Chi-Ha concept is of an upgraded Type 95 Ha-Go and did much of the same, except it's was up in armors and everything else. The Japanese also deploys tons of armored Cars, truck troops carriers, faster motor bikes and typical cars. If they wasn't fighting forces with superior technology and forces with superior access to resources, if the wars is only on the colonial front, any battles of the local population fighting against Japanese colonialism, after Japanese colonialism had replaces European colonialism, would have turns into a Guerilla wars on all front. In that sense, all of Japan small arms and mechanize armors combat were well suited for exactly those roles.
They were Shin Gunto not Kyu Gunto like what was said in this video. Kyu were modelled after european sabers during the meiji restoration and the shin gunto were modelled after samurai tachis but were massed produced after the 1930s.
Some of those pictures of the Type 100 submachine gun looked like either the British Lancaster submachine gun or the German models either the 1918 or the 1928 submachine guns. Granted both used a side loading magazine, but the barrel shrouds look different.
First black and white photo in 2:39 has a Steyr-Solothurn S1-100, known also as MP34, which Japan bought from Austria in mid 1930's. Second photo in 2:44 has SIG Bergmann M/20, which is an improved copy of the MP18 manufactured originally in Switzerland, where Japan bought those. Bergmanns were also manufactured in China, where Japanese also captured those. Third photo in 2:57 also has a SIG Bergmann, with a bayonet mount. Also unlike the video claims, Type 100 had a rate of fire around 700-900 rounds per minute, depending on the model.
@@Mahtimeisseli Thanks, I heard that the Japanese officers sometimes bothered to get Western pistols since a lot of their handguns weren't as good. It might make sense they would adopt some European submachine guns.
@@schizoidboy the probable reason why Japanese bought European SMGs instead manufacturing their own in early WW2 was that the SMG wasn't shown it's power yet and the battle doctrine didn't really include those. Same can be seen from some other nations during the start of WW2; Brits didn't have any SMGs before late 1940, The USSR got only about 5000 PPD-34 SMGs, French manufactured only about 2000 MAS-38 SMGs before the German invasion etc. Japan probably got the first experience of the power of the SMG during the battles in China in late 1930's, after which the development of the domestic SMG got a bit more priority. Still as the original Type 100/40 got approved into production in 1940, only about 500 were manufactured by June 1942.
When I was a kid, I convinced my mom to buy an Arisaka rifle as a decoration at an antique show she dragged me to, which cost $25. It had been sporterized at some point and had the magazine spring removed, but still had the chrysanthemum crest, and the firing mechanism still worked. I have no idea if it was converted to an American caliber by whoever sporterized it, or what happened to it after I grew up and left the house, but it was a cool little piece of history!
As nobody else has mentioned it I will. The type 94 pistol had a projecting sear that meant it could fire without touching the trigger. It might just be a myth but it is said that some Japanese soldiers who had to hand over their type 94 pistols when they surrendered used this sear to fire at their captors.
Only in terms of exterior design. It uses a direct blowback action unlike the toggle lock of the Luger. What's more is that mind you, the pistol was designed in the early 1900s and adopted in 1904 by the IJN - years before the Luger. So the similar looks are coincidental. Even more is that its design is more successful than the Luger. The Nambu pistol is the basis for the Ruger Standard series of pistols, the most successful .22 LR pistol in the world.
The standard type 38 was a long rifle like any other Shorter rifle = lighter recoil....??? The nambu 14 has no influence from the p08 7.7mm is a pretty normal mg cartridge not much bigger then 3006 or 8mm The kyo gunto is not a shin gunto The type 30 bajonett was definitely not converted into a trench knife other then by us soldiers
You forgot to mention they only made 10k type 100’s for comparison America made 350k bars more than 1.5 millions Thompsons and 622k grease guns lol if you can get a type 100 keep it they’re very very rare
THE JAPANESE COULDNT MAKE SMALL ARMS. JUST LOOK AT THEM! THEY MADE A HAND HELD MORTAR BUT FAILED TO TEACH THE SOLDIERS HOW TO USE THEM SO THEY PUT THEM ON THEIR THIGHS WHEN FIRING THEM. WHAT HAPPENED? THEY BROKE THEIR THIGH BONES AFTER FIRST SHOT. ITS TRUE!
DURING WW2, THE JAPANESE WEAPONS WERE NOT ONLY USED BY THE JAPANESE, THE CHINESE ALSO USED THE CAPTURED JAPANESE WEAPONS TO FIGHT AGAINST THE JAPANESE INVASION
They might have won more battles if they weren’t full of themselves and obsessed with front line charges.
Also: Flamethrowers were extremely effective.
oh yeah, he forgot to mention their flamethrowers and knee mortars too
I heard that was the first thing servicemen ditched. 😂😂
0:50 a shorter or lighter rifle actually doesn't make recoil less in fact it would make it recoil more

I have a Nambu Type 94 and two swords my grandfather brought back from The Philippines. I have no idea how he got two swords home.
Soldier ingenuity

Intressing Weapons.
Thanks for the video
talks about type 100 smg, proceeds to only show troops with the mp28
Thanks for a fantastically informative video ❤

Kyu gunto means :First military sword. its successor was the Shin Gunto , : New military sword.
Can you make a video WW1 japanese?
From a history nut☝☝loved it
Interesting ❤❤❤❤❤
What about the type 38 light mg with the grasshopper feeding mechanism?
The high velocity artillery shells?
The bang arrived a few seconds after the blast. Quite strange.
Ah, the Woodpecker... Type 92...
they type 94 nambu pistol was a total piece of garbage
My sister and I are so remidned of Call of Duty World at War PS3, Medal of Honor Rising Sun PS2 and Pacific Assault PC!
And the Japanese will deny these were real
You can believe that there are more than 2 genders and we can't believe what we want ? Such hypocrisy
Deny what was real?
Unless they’ve played World at War. 😎
why deny it? those are just weapons lol
Ill ask my co-worker if his great grand dad did any bad stuff!
🤍❤ all your videos mate👍
Always love Japan history
And hate their histories of war crimes.
Nambu- Ripoff Luger
Only in terms of exterior design. It uses a direct blowback action unlike the toggle lock of the Luger.
What's more is that mind you, the pistol was designed in the early 1900s and adopted in 1904 by the IJN - years before the Luger. So the similar looks are coincidental.
Even more is that its design is more successful than the Luger. The Nambu pistol is the basis for the Ruger Standard series of pistols, the most successful .22 LR pistol in the world.
Such scary time
Wooooo
The standard type 38 was a long rifle like any other
Shorter rifle = lighter recoil....???
The nambu 14 has no influence from the p08
7.7mm is a pretty normal mg cartridge not much bigger then 3006 or 8mm
The kyo gunto is not a shin gunto
The type 30 bajonett was definitely not converted into a trench knife other then by us soldiers
Why did Japan 🇯🇵 have to make enemies with China 🇨🇳‼️
THE PHOTO WHICH 2 SOLDIERS USED SUB-MACHINE GUNS. THE SUB-MACHINE GUN WAS MP28, NOT TYPE 100. THEY WERE CHINESE, NOT JAPANESE
You forgot to mention they only made 10k type 100’s for comparison America made 350k bars more than 1.5 millions Thompsons and 622k grease guns lol if you can get a type 100 keep it they’re very very rare
Type 11 LMG?
Love me some Mythtory
Sounds like Tyson trying to say history hah
Tikbong ( Arizaka )....
Old Weapons looks cute😂
Lead is Lead
A lighter gun produces significantly higher recoil….. false information in the first few seconds….
😃👍
Hajime and Hikakin TV
Grand parents!
THE JAPANESE COULDNT MAKE SMALL ARMS. JUST LOOK AT THEM! THEY MADE A HAND HELD MORTAR BUT FAILED TO TEACH THE SOLDIERS HOW TO USE THEM SO THEY PUT THEM ON THEIR THIGHS WHEN FIRING THEM. WHAT HAPPENED? THEY BROKE THEIR THIGH BONES AFTER FIRST SHOT. ITS TRUE!
why did the japanese not invade russia/soviet union from the east to help out their axis powers in europe, instead they attacked the US
War☠️.
Uh veryu dishonorabru.
@0:32 hhh
When he says modern weapons im like 😂😂😂
出っ歯にメガネって差別的なイラストだな、こういうの久々に見たわ
DURING WW2, THE JAPANESE WEAPONS WERE NOT ONLY USED BY THE JAPANESE, THE CHINESE ALSO USED THE CAPTURED JAPANESE WEAPONS TO FIGHT AGAINST THE JAPANESE INVASION
first
Isn't sword pointless? I wouldn't want to carry anything I don't need.
To the WW2 Imperial Japanese Officers Captains the swords weren't pointless to them!
Id carry a crossbow! Works well in Walking Dead
Id rather carry extra magazines
@@captvaghunter at night it was about stealth and being a sneaky dirty stabber..gunshots would have alerte everyone around
They’re definitely not Point Less.
the allied clowns won 2 fights, the asian continent won the entire war.
ok troll
The US control Asia's Central Banks..... soooo.... who won??
miserable weapons
😂
