1:11 Here we see the traditional "Wave Motion" effect that is standard with most Japanese armaments, which fires an extremely powerful beam forward from the weapon, capable of inducing extreme collateral damage, in this case, taking out the entire side of the building that the rifleman's target dared to cower behind.
Great video like usual. However the Japanese removing the dust covers from the weapon is a myth. It stems from US Marines taking the weapons back as trophies in WW2. The Navy would take the bolt out of the weapon so they didn't have more live weapons floating around and the dust covers would fall off of the bolt when not in the weapon. The Japanese would never ditch the dust covers because the weapon was a tribute to their devotion to the Emperor and they wanted to keep them in prestige condition.(I'm not trying to be toxic just thought you would want to know)
@@Kenton_Stills They seem to have been following the trend of bigger bullets and more power = better. Logistically, it was a bad move. Im personally torn on the subject because on one hand, I can add 2 Japanese rifles to my collection, but on the other hand, I need to find and buy 2 expensive military surplus rifles. LOL. But hopefully I can find some sporters that I can restore with parts bought online, as is my hobby. I like saving old military guns from Bubba.
@@Kenton_Stills The type 38 wasn’t performing well in china, it had little stopping power, but they observed that the type 92 mounted machine gun which was chambered in 7.7 seemed to stop the chinese soldiers a lot better. So they decided logistically to change all their main weapons to 7.7 (standardize ammunition). However they gained new enemies and thus the type 38 remained in service and kept being produced, as they couldnt completely replace the rifle due to production lacking in speed. They still had old type 38’s produced in the interwar years along with lots of ammunition. The type 38 kept being used because not using it would have made equipping soldiers harder. It wasnt uncommon to see different squads in a company each carrying different sets of rifles. This did indeed however created a logistical nightmare having a deemed obsolete ammo and weapons still being used everywhere (the type 96 and type 11 lmg’s were still in use as well).
They foolishly went to 7.7 while keeping 6.5 because they thought they were missing out on long range 2 mile shots. They were jealous of the Chinese 8mm trash mausers and there was a silly myth that the big bullets were more lethal. They were only more lethal at long sniper distances
one very important thing to remember about the 6.5mm arisaka round is that the smaller size of the bullet made it horribly damaging to flesh, as it caused cavitation as it tumbled through the body
@@Fr_87 You're kinda right. We use 5.56 because you can carry far more of it than 7.62, less recoil and because it does work fine within the ranges combat often takes place (however our military is looking at larger calibers right now). I'm really not sure if 6.5 Arisaka would tumble, as 6.5 usually has a longer/larger core density and it being a heavier/slower bullet than 55 grain 5.56 I think it would just punch through, maybe fragment.
A long 6.5mm bullet will tumble and yaw to cause massive cavitation. The Austro-Hungarian Empire protested the use of Italian "Pencil bullets" from their Carcano rifles due to the "Explosive effect" it had on the body. JFK took a 6.5mm bullet and his head popped like a melon. Had it been a 30-06 bullet or similar spitzer type bullet, it would have taken the top of his skull off but with much less explosive force, as those bullets pass through a target rather cleanly.
I have been playing for about a month but am blasting through the game and have the main infantry rifle for every country in the game exept italy and tips on getting the 5 explosives (besides spot flaring)
Great guide mate. I really like this rifle. It's probably my favourite DLC weapon they've included so far. It's great at short to medium range and the iron sights are comfortable to popping headshots at longer ranges.
Dude Lmao the SMLE covers most of the Martini's sweetspot, + more. So does the Arisaka. Also, the SMLE has 10 bullets in the mag, compared to the Martini's 1 bullet - so the Martini is sluggish compared to the SMLE, and when using infantry rifles, that's a downside for the Martini. Gotta admit the Martini has the best firing sound though.
I believe it's a myth that the Japanese got rid of those dust covers. Knowing Imperial Japan, if they didn't keep their guns in perfect condition / respect them, they probably got some sort of disciplinary action.
The dust covers got lost when the Navy started bringing back captured examples, since the dust cover is attached to the bolt, when the bolts were removed for safety reasons the dust covers usually got lost or thrown away. But also the dust covers simply stopped being made for the Type 99 when materials got scarcer.
Just stumbled across your channel. Great job, this is exactly the information I was looking for regarding this gun. Very in-depth review. Thank you. I haven’t found anyone else that shows us all the little stats.
funny thing about this gun: its not actually Type "Thirty Eight" its actually type "Three Eight" ("San Hatchi Shiki" instead of "Sanju Hatchi Shiki")even tho its meant to be thirty eight since of the emeperor year system.
Would recommend watching C&Rsenal's video on the Type 38. There doesn't seem to be any evidence that the Japanese soldiers got rid of their bolt covers. For them, the rifle was a tool that was to be respected and cared for. Plus, removing the cover could get them in trouble.
I think this is the best all-around rifle in the scout class, I’m loving it for a slightly more run and gun “aggressive” style in TDM games, since that’s all I play and make gameplay commentary vids on. Normally I’d grab the SMLE and post up somewhere but with this thing I can run around as if I have something like the RSC for the medic class. This shit is an addictive gun once you get used to it. I find I just use it on every single TDM map. You do have to be good and fast with transitioning to your side arm though. I guess the next update will have a scoped version, not sure I’ll like that or not. Iron sights seem to fit for this “sweet spot” range.
I love how this gun has some similar elements from my two favourite rifles in the game (smle mkiii and the martini henry) definitely worth that painful unlock
I was very lucky with my Sniper Multi Kills part of the assignment...I was on giants shadow and an enemy tanker had abandoned his tank and died...i jumped in...it was a flanker tank and i was behind the majority of enemies...i just sprayed and got 3 multi kills in 15 shots xD
Gotta remember that a heavier rifle combats recoil. A larger and heavier rifle will take that mild 6.5 arisaka round and reduce the recoil even further.
This article on modern firearms said a lot of soldiers removed the bolt cover due to the rattling noise: modernfirearms.net/en/military-rifles/bolt-action-rifles/japan-bolt-action-rifles/arisaka-38-i-99-eng/
It says most Japanese troops discarded them because it made too much noise when cycling the bolt. Which is ridiculous because combat makes too much noise, and with all that noise, you're really not going to hear a dust cover. I firmly believe the common Japanese soldier would not have discarded his dust cover.
3 years late, but the Arisaka is probably the best scout rifle in BF 1 in my opinion. Just something about the gun made it made me immediately just main it over the SMLE and Gewehr 95. I'm gradually working in the Garbage Rod when I'm playing as the Russians and has a similar feel, but nothing has compared to the Arisaka.
Another good and informative video Kris, still enjoying them. Also I wanted to know, which did you prefer for the new scout rifles from Turning Tides, the Carcano or the Arisaka? Personally, I prefer the Carcano. Also second and last question, what's your settings for your mini map?
I like them both for different reasons, though the Arisaka is one of my favourite rifles in the game for its versatility. I made a video a while ago on my best settings (including map size) I suggest you check that out 👍
Even though I'm having trouble unlocking this gun, I would say its the second best aggro scout weapon if you like the fact that the arisaka has the shortest sweet spot than the m.95's no sweet spot.
I’m a bit late to this but another good method of getting multi-kills is running light anti-tank grenades and k-bullets as a scout and running around with some assault blue/greenberries. If you get the final hit it’s a multi-kill 90% of the time, plus you’re helping your team out.
OsamaIs MyMama Well that is wrong. Although it uses Mauset action, if you push the clip with the bolt, it won't feed a round in the chamber. Japanese soldiers were trained to remove the clip and close the bolt then. There are plenty of videos showing this issue. Mausers never had that problem, you can slam the bolt while the clip was there and you are good to go.
Many rifles are not able to be operated with a stripper clip inserted as a safety feature. It varies depending on which rifle. However, I do appreciate the last bullet reload throwing away the last round to load another clip animation.
It's actually probably not true that Japanese troops tossed the dust cover. After WW2 captured Type38's by the U.S. usually had there dust cover thrown away thinking it was a useless piece of metal.
There is no evidence that dust covers were abandoned by Japanese soldiers or that they make Excessive noise. That is a myth. I own one my grandfather brought back and it's a great weapon. I'd prefer over .30-06 as long as you reload ammo since it's not cheap
Haven't unlocked this yet, but hope to soon. On another note does anyone else find that certain weapons feel good to use after just a few minutes of use? You know, the recoil, sights, etc. are just the way you like. For me it has been the Huot and Vetterli.
The latest update released the patrol variant which gives its a sniper scope without the bipod that's common with the other sniper variants on other rifles. In short this is my favorite scoped rifle.
Watching these rifle review makes me want to get the game, but still, sad to see how the differences between rifles in game play is on a rather handicapped system obviously to improve game play.
I wish there was a video of all unqiue weapons you have to pick up from dead people to get access to. Some are apparently from pre ordering the game. I would like to see every weapon they have in the files
Could you please give us a recommended loadout at the end of each video? I’d really like to know what you use with each weapon you review. Love your videos though!
RUclips Channel Of Arstotzka The Ross is coming with Apocalypse. They released an update for the CTE and the Ross is one of the new featured weapons in the dlc
obviously bayonets are made to be thrusting weapons but you cant say battlefield is realistic. everybody just runs around the map like retards and there are 20 different experimental smgs in the game that were never really used in the war
normie The guns are there to make the game more fun because if everyone is running around with bolt guns the game would probably tank. But maybe there was an range of realism that battlefield was going for while providing a unique and fun experience. Who knows? You'd have to ask Dice. I think the emphasis of CQC focused on the melee weapons that they worked so hard to bring a variety to us. If you could just bash the shit out of people with rifles there'd be no need for melee weapons.
Arisaka was the ak47 of ww1 doesn't matter who you are, if you're a fighter you'll probably be using it. Though it's pretty ironic the Japanese then brought Carcanos to replace their Arisakas they sold, probably a much worse weapon.
Japan: "Lets give our troops the longest, heaviest bolt action rifle of any military in the world, but use a light recoil 6.5x50mm round to completely make the extra weight pointless."
I don't think they really rattled and made that much noise in the actual war. That is just a myth created from post ww2 guys taking the dust covers off them for various reasons. (Some people tried to use create counterfeit Nazi rifles. I think they sometimes used Japanese rifles as parts to make them. The rifle does share a lot of similarities with the various mausers. (There was one mauser that had a dust cover too. The Japanese inventor improved the concept by letting the dust cover move with the bolt. The previous dust cover mauser model required you to move the dust cover out of the way so you can eject the bullets while firing)) When the dust cover is never removed it is very quite. It is until you have to remove the dust cover and put it back on is when it begins to rattle. I think this leads to the next myth. The Japanese soldiers never removed the dust covers. They left them on. People just think that because again.. so many Japanese ww2 rifles were messed around with where they rattled. That myth was created as a surmise by the post ww2 collectors explaining they were seeing so many loud rattling rifles.
*Sees 6.5x50 as shown in the video* Oh look, a war crime. The bullet shown seems to be a soft tip hunting round, it is a war crime to use in combat. Not really a problem with the video, just me nit picking.
I meant the photograph Kris used in the video of the cartridge when looking at the irl stats of the rifle. The picture used showed a jacketed soft tip, in game they are just solid lead projectiles. A solid lead bullet will expand, but it is not necessarily meant for expansion. A jacketed lead tipped bullet is *intended* for expansion in a target, which is indeed a war crime. -Hague Convention of 1899 (IV,3) "The Contracting Parties agree to abstain from the use of bullets which expand or flatten easily in the human body, such as bullets with a hard envelope which does not entirely cover the core, or is pierced with incisions." And here is the video time stamp 0:36 Hope this clears things up.
Japanese troops did not discard their dust covers. The dust cover has been on the Arisaka series of rifles since 1905; it predates World War 1. Yet all the myths and theories about Japanese soldiers discarding them seem to only take place during World War 2, in the mid-late 1940's, the Pacific Theater, Between the Japanese and Americans. No one ever seems to say, "during World War 1, most Japanese troops discarded their dust covers." No one has ever said, "during the Second Sino-Japanese War, most Japanese troops discarded their dust covers." I've never heard any of that; it's always: World War 2, Pacific Theater, battling the US troops. Am I the only here who finds that just a bit suspicious?
Love the video, but you are wrong about the dust cover. It was apart of the weapon thus property of the Emperor, they wouldnt want to remove to avoid disrespecting the Emperor. It wouldn't have been loud either, the only time it rattles is when you cycle the bolt which is already loud. If youre wondering why a lot of copies dont have it, ethier US servicemen removed it due to the light rattling or they didnt understand its uses fully and captured models used by Indonesia and China lost them over time/heavy use.
Michael Kassner Actually a lot of the dust covers where lost because when disassembling the bolt it is incredibly difficult to put the cover back on properly during a fight so a lot of soldiers basically said screw it
I've heard a lot of soldiers removed the dust covers regardless, as the rattling noise would've compromised their position. Maybe this was late on (perhaps in WW2) though it's common to find type 38 without covers now for this reason
Yeah I've read up on this gun from a few sources, quite a lot mention the removal of the bolt cover. (even the type 38's codex entry on bf1 talks about it)
Ross Jones Watch the firing segment for the weapon on C R arsenal video on it, it adds very little extra noise to the action and it didn't rattle as much as some might think.
OsamaIs MyMama I doubt it, if i remember correctly the disassembly wasnt massively complex and near simple as you can get. C R arsenal has a video on the weapon, itll show the disassembly process
1:11 Here we see the traditional "Wave Motion" effect that is standard with most Japanese armaments, which fires an extremely powerful beam forward from the weapon, capable of inducing extreme collateral damage, in this case, taking out the entire side of the building that the rifleman's target dared to cower behind.

That gameplay was insane dude, cant wait to use this on those new turning tides maps coming this month
The way I got 3 multi kills was by hoping into a front gunner in bomber in Operations, took me less than 10 minutes.
Gotta remember that a heavier rifle combats recoil. A larger and heavier rifle will take that mild 6.5 arisaka round and reduce the recoil even further.

Wel kris Japanse soldiers in ww2 never removed there dust cover because that would have been a disgrace to the emperor
Well consider him disgraced cos it happened, according to the codex entry and a few other sources anyway
Ross Jones wel just wacht the C&Rsenal video of the type 38 and wil see what I mene
This article on modern firearms said a lot of soldiers removed the bolt cover due to the rattling noise: modernfirearms.net/en/military-rifles/bolt-action-rifles/japan-bolt-action-rifles/arisaka-38-i-99-eng/

I wish dice would ad a buttstock melee bash over the bayonet charge
Gabriel Najerra That is very unpractical and cant work for many reasons
how about you can slash and stab at people with the bayonet but can't do a bayonet charge. if you don't have a bayonet you can do a buttstock melee
normie
Bayonets were made to impale. The sharper the blade the more brittle the metal becomes.
obviously bayonets are made to be thrusting weapons but you cant say battlefield is realistic. everybody just runs around the map like retards and there are 20 different experimental smgs in the game that were never really used in the war
normie
The guns are there to make the game more fun because if everyone is running around with bolt guns the game would probably tank. But maybe there was an range of realism that battlefield was going for while providing a unique and fun experience. Who knows? You'd have to ask Dice. I think the emphasis of CQC focused on the melee weapons that they worked so hard to bring a variety to us. If you could just bash the shit out of people with rifles there'd be no need for melee weapons.
Gret man love your vids kris!
This gun so far is my favorite sniper rifle in the game.
Arisaka was the ak47 of ww1 doesn't matter who you are, if you're a fighter you'll probably be using it.
Though it's pretty ironic the Japanese then brought Carcanos to replace their Arisakas they sold, probably a much worse weapon.
I got a legendary skin for most dlc guns need this one just unlocked the gun today
Not to mention it has some of the best skins in the entire game
When I was getting the 3 multi kills I use the m1903 experimental and ripped through everyone
Do you honestly believe that the dust cover would make more noise than explosions, screaming, and all the other loud noises going on during war?
I've spent 3days to unlock this bloody gun.
5:38... dude. Is “Fraggles” okay?

Fun fact: An Arisaka Type 38 equipped with a bayonet stands higher than the average Japanese soldier at the time
Poor guy at 8:16. But this is definitely one of my favorite guns in 2021.
Da, good rifle. My soldiers loved it.
Japan: "Lets give our troops the longest, heaviest bolt action rifle of any military in the world, but use a light recoil 6.5x50mm round to completely make the extra weight pointless."
Even if i hate the scout class (Can’t fucking aim bolt actions with the PS4 controller...) i still love this rifle for some reason.
BlapBlop Try Kontrol Freeks plus using 0% Dead Stick Zone in the settings. Your aim will be 800 million times better.
I don't think they really rattled and made that much noise in the actual war. That is just a myth created from post ww2 guys taking the dust covers off them for various reasons. (Some people tried to use create counterfeit Nazi rifles. I think they sometimes used Japanese rifles as parts to make them. The rifle does share a lot of similarities with the various mausers. (There was one mauser that had a dust cover too. The Japanese inventor improved the concept by letting the dust cover move with the bolt. The previous dust cover mauser model required you to move the dust cover out of the way so you can eject the bullets while firing)) When the dust cover is never removed it is very quite. It is until you have to remove the dust cover and put it back on is when it begins to rattle. I think this leads to the next myth. The Japanese soldiers never removed the dust covers. They left them on. People just think that because again.. so many Japanese ww2 rifles were messed around with where they rattled. That myth was created as a surmise by the post ww2 collectors explaining they were seeing so many loud rattling rifles.

When you ate rice in ww1
Sorry but that was a very bad joke
1:12 what ammo you shooting there son
*Sees 6.5x50 as shown in the video* Oh look, a war crime.
The bullet shown seems to be a soft tip hunting round, it is a war crime to use in combat. Not really a problem with the video, just me nit picking.
KristophShmit you mean the gun in the game uses hunting ammunition?
KristophShmit Notice how Gas, Flamethrowers, and shooting paratroopers is also in the game so...
I meant the photograph Kris used in the video of the cartridge when looking at the irl stats of the rifle. The picture used showed a jacketed soft tip, in game they are just solid lead projectiles. A solid lead bullet will expand, but it is not necessarily meant for expansion. A jacketed lead tipped bullet is *intended* for expansion in a target, which is indeed a war crime.
-Hague Convention of 1899 (IV,3) "The Contracting Parties agree to abstain from the use of bullets which expand or flatten easily in the human body, such as bullets with a hard envelope which does not entirely cover the core, or is pierced with incisions."
And here is the video time stamp 0:36
Hope this clears things up.
Kai Flood Shooting paratroopers isn't a warcrime
yes
Yo, I got this rifle by getting into airship and having planes running into me... lol
How is it only 57 rpm. It says 62 rpm on PlayStation 4 just used the rifle today
Japanese troops did not discard their dust covers.
The dust cover has been on the Arisaka series of rifles since 1905; it predates World War 1. Yet all the myths and theories about Japanese soldiers discarding them seem to only take place during World War 2, in the mid-late 1940's, the Pacific Theater, Between the Japanese and Americans. No one ever seems to say, "during World War 1, most Japanese troops discarded their dust covers." No one has ever said, "during the Second Sino-Japanese War, most Japanese troops discarded their dust covers." I've never heard any of that; it's always: World War 2, Pacific Theater, battling the US troops.
Am I the only here who finds that just a bit suspicious?
What does the legendary skin "Mari" stand for???

Love the video, but you are wrong about the dust cover. It was apart of the weapon thus property of the Emperor, they wouldnt want to remove to avoid disrespecting the Emperor. It wouldn't have been loud either, the only time it rattles is when you cycle the bolt which is already loud. If youre wondering why a lot of copies dont have it, ethier US servicemen removed it due to the light rattling or they didnt understand its uses fully and captured models used by Indonesia and China lost them over time/heavy use.
Michael Kassner Actually a lot of the dust covers where lost because when disassembling the bolt it is incredibly difficult to put the cover back on properly during a fight so a lot of soldiers basically said screw it
I've heard a lot of soldiers removed the dust covers regardless, as the rattling noise would've compromised their position. Maybe this was late on (perhaps in WW2) though it's common to find type 38 without covers now for this reason
Yeah I've read up on this gun from a few sources, quite a lot mention the removal of the bolt cover. (even the type 38's codex entry on bf1 talks about it)
Ross Jones Watch the firing segment for the weapon on C R arsenal video on it, it adds very little extra noise to the action and it didn't rattle as much as some might think.
OsamaIs MyMama I doubt it, if i remember correctly the disassembly wasnt massively complex and near simple as you can get. C R arsenal has a video on the weapon, itll show the disassembly process
The only issue i have with the gun is the fact you cant rechamber while scoped
you hate all bolt action rifles then. you like straight pull then. you only use G95 and ROSS MK3
This Weapon Is Fun To Use, Kris
It sure is
Can You Do The M1917 Next?
You forgot to mention the built in aimbot. For some reason this is the only infantry rifle I consistently get ridiculous headshots with lol
Very nice
There sure is a lot of good scout rifles now aren't there!!!
favorite load out
We need a Type 38 Sniper
there was no type 38 sniper until 1937, so we won't be seeing it in bf1
Austin Weiß its called the type 38 arisaka in-game
yeah but it came out in 1905
nice play
Hint to BF 2018?
