- The Type 38 Japanese infantry rifle, sometimes referred to (incorrectly mind you) as an Arisaka, is what we get to unbox today! I could write you more about how this arm has impacted the world or of it's intricacies, but at this point I'm just typing things about how they were used in the Second Sino Japanese War, the Second World War, the Interwar years, etc, because the description helps the algorithm. I'm aware most of you will never read this unless you've come to click on the links below. But if you've gotten this far, I commend you.

I am Japanese. I don't speak English. I came across this video. I was impressed that the rifles used by our ancestors are still working. thanks for the good video.
万歳。
Thank you for the kind words! I hope that the autogenerated subtitles worked well enough for you. Thanks for stopping by!
Yes your emperor’s property is the American’s property now hahaha shameful for your emperor!

6:00 the No.4 bayonet retires from the battlefield. 6:17 the rusty children's scissor from roughly 2004 commences it's assault on the bubblewrap.
Another most excellent unboxing video!
Thank you, old boy!
Let us commemorate this man and his sacrifice he made to be used as a ballistic gel dummy for Atun Sheis King Phillips War.
Did he survive ?
@@danielomar9712 no he didn’t
@@destroyerofcringe3475 You sure ?
@@danielomar9712 Yes it was a tragedy
@@destroyerofcringe3475 Damn .
This reminds me of when my William Evans hammered gun was delivered. There was a metric tonne of packing peanuts and like your rifle covered in bubble wrap. Although mine had about two more layers of it than yours.
A pain to all get off, but it certainly does prevent lots of UPS damage!
Another informative video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
日本のものを愛していただきありがとうございます😊
Picked a beautiful example up and managed to procure some ammunition for it! So stoked for the range - Excellent video!
Thank you! Glad you’re part of the Type 38 club!
That's an absolutely beautiful example. Congratulations bro.
I’m pretty chuffed with it myself!
If you wouldn't mind spilling the details, where did you source this fine piece of military history?
I literally just used ye old Gun Broker.
@@TheFarOffStation Oof. I hope you got a decent deal. That's price gouger central.
@@warweasel2832 I did indeed! Yes, GB can be gouge central, you need to really know your stuff when you go on there, so you don’t get taken for a ride.
8:17 Thank you for that lol.
Glad to hear you enjoyed that bit! Spend more time on that than I should have!
Strangle looking jungle!

Just to save time.
A rattling rifle doesn’t mean shit when you’re Shooting at a dozen other dudes with rifles who already know where you are.
My grandfather brought one back from WWII. I inherited it several years ago and have fully restored it with the type 30 bayonet. It is absolutely a beautiful rifle and shoots fantastically. I had to replace the original stock on mine due to some damage when my dad had it. It took me 5 different stocks until I found the right one that fit correctly on my Type 38. Thanks for the video! I actually learned something new in it NOT being an "Arisaka".
Thanks for sharing your story, and glad that you took something away from the video.
I’ve got a type 99 short and a type 99 long rifle. Type 99 long is a same length to type 38 long. But type 99 long has anti air sight and mono pod attachments. Also they are quite rare because not many of them were produced compares to type 99 short.
there was only one bad part about the type 38 and it was that the hook safety was so much easier to use than the palm safety. also the type 38 carbine and t38 short were the ultimate bolt actions. All they needed was the chrome lining that the t99 got and it would have been perfect. the t99 also had the better peep sight. All of these could easily be put onto a t38. the front sight had pretty good sight protectors
another small advantage of the t99 was that the rails and dust covers on the t99 were fully interchangeable. on a t38 the dust covers weren't interchangeable.
i don't know if the two hole venting is better than the 1 hole venting. It seems like it would be the same performance since the bolt only has one gas relief hole for the firing pin.
Would have been cool to see that evolution of the 38.
0:24 no not at all
My 38 trainer is only able to shoot blanks.Some were made to chamber wooden blanks,some can chamber nothing,some can actually fire rounds. Be sure of what you have before trying to fire it.The safety not working would concern me, possibly only a trainer rifle.
This is a real rifle, it was made at the Tokyo Artillery Arsenal in the late 00s or early 10s. One can quickly determine it is not a trainer due to build quality, markings, and the most apparent one, it has rifling. As discussed in the video, Japanese rifles of the last century are well know for being hand fit, so parts with not always work if put into another rifle. This was clearly not important to the Japanese when the rifles were only being used in schools for training when they were deemed not fit enough for frontline service.
“Hmm, this person has a YT channel where they talk about these things in great detail with moderate to high levels of production value, indicating that they probably are passionate enough about the subject to have a decent idea of what they’re talking about. Better treat them like they’re 12.”
school rifles and trainers are different. School rifle are regular rifles for universities. Training rifle are blank firing pot metal toy guns meant for middle schoolers
Heya there! I love the content, but I'm just wondering what music you're using for your intro? Thanks!
Hi, it's called "Memorial" and it originally came from the iMovie library.
Nothing beats a mouser action my opinion only
*Ahem*

Huzzah.

I now must bow.
If your not first your last
Your Did It
You need an unboxing theme song
I used to, but “Shanghai Shuffle” constantly got flagged.
Saying its superior to a mauser while holding a mauser deriviant
Your type 38 appears to have a type 99 safety cap. Can you provide any insight?
It’s still a Type 38 safety, it’s just the style as used in the 1930s.
I have a Type 38 Calvary Carbine
Skip first 6min . Takes that long to unbox... Then I left.
Cool stuff. It was a pleasure to meet you at Sturbridge as well.
Thanks again for coming out!
Well that was a blue balling video, but we did get there in the end.
Yes yes, quite!
I honestly thought you were british all this time
Oh really, why is that?
Given you distaste for the treatment of the Chinese by the Japanese. Why buy a Japanese rifle?
It has a particularly significant role in era represented on this channel, particularly as the opponent to British rifles in the Far East in the early stages of the Second World War. It should make a nice comparison!
The United States is a gun lover's paradise. I envy Americans if you are looking for a hunting rifle. I think a WWII era rifle is a good choice.
There are certainly some advantages.
You dont know how to open a box?
I suppose not
watching this guy try to open the box is painful.
Cheers!
This guy has no life skills
