Absolutely...the reason I have this channel is to preserve and show firearms of historical significance. I'm working on getting more videos out soon. So stay tuned!
This particular example is chambered in original 7.7 x 58 mm Arisaka which is hard to find. All the firearms featured on this channel are in their original chambering/configuration.
I think its super important to fire weapons in the cartridge they were designed for, you preserve firearm history in that way, Would you say the type 99 lives up to today’s standards somewhat even though its a 70+ year old gun?
@@bassrooten2217Operationally, the Type 99 can hold its own against any magazine-fed light machinegun. But at 10.4 kg, it's heavy. For comparison, the HK11 is lighter (7.7 to 8.15 kg), has faster barrel swaps and fires a 7.62 x 51 mm cartridge which is ballistically similar but takes up less weight and space than the 7.7 x 58 mm Ariska.
$12,000 to 15,000 for a nice clean gun is typical. I paid $15 K for this one. Magazines are rare and expensive and start at $2000 each. Machinegun transfers in the United States are typically done via a BATF Form 3 or Form 4.
It doesn't because it's not that type of weapon. It's supposed to be an LMG, not a GPMG. Your effective rate of fire would not increase significantly if it fired from a belt instead of a magazine. Weapons like this were not meant for sustained fire any way. You would get the cons of a belt but not the pros.
Hmm,very interesting lmg,even after all these years,that have past since it was produced.I think,that its only flaw is absence of belt feeding.Someone perhaps may think,that Japanese constructors have just copied it from czech lmg ZB-26/30,but no,czech lmg and Type 99 is a little bit similar to each other only from outside,but if to take a look inside,it becomes clear,that they are entirely different,so Japanese have just borrowed a general idea of lmg with mag feeding,and magazine attached to the upper side of weapon.By the way,this idea wasn't something new,for a first time such idea was used in WW1-era Madsen's lmg.
The Type 99 is an improvement over the Type 96 which does take inspiration from the Zb26. This weapon was designed to be magazine fed as opposed to belt fed because it was more of an infantry automatic rifle like The BAR, Bren and ZB26.
Can only imagine the damage a well trained MG crew with one of these was capable of. Accented with the slow fire rate of the Type 92 and bursts from this? No wonder landings were so costly
They didn't have the logistical capability plus they were on opposite sides of the globe. Even today we don't have total standardization for every weapon.
This gun was awesome in Call Of Duty World At War
Love how the gun constantly chopping limbs every hit

I couldn't get use to it, the sight aming down annoys me for some reason but Dp pizza gun is mine go too
@@DonutVIP this is going back so far but I agree, the ADS speed was so fucking slow but if you held a position while aiming it was pretty decent.
In enlisted too
Those were some good, disciplined bursts.
Bursts are gay
Beautiful piece of industrial and military history. Thank you for preserving and respecting it.

US marines and soldiers had a healthy respect for the Type 99. It was a pretty handy and capable weapon.
日本軍の武器の中では最も優秀な軽機関銃。
確かに
7.7mm弾は、威力もだけど弾道特性が特に良かったみたいですからね。
6.5mm弾は、集弾性は、別としても元々遠距離射程での右方向へのドリフトが惨く
中国戦線の砂漠地帯では、砂塵による銃口付近の僅かな磨耗で横転弾が起こったらしい。
6.5mmは、ドリフト量が多く砂漠地帯のような交戦距離の長い遠距離射撃に向かなかったらしいです。
先に99式などと異なる7.7mm弾薬を使用していた92式重機関銃の弾道特性の良さが判明し戦時下に関わらず
中国戦線の小銃・軽機関銃まとめて口径変更により更新を急いだ根本的理由だったのかもしれません。
狙撃銃でもないに関わらず銃機関銃や軽機関銃にまで眼鏡使用を求めた交戦距離だったのでしょうから。
38式小銃や38式6.5mm小銃弾が開発された年代に、そこまでの交戦距離は、想定外だったはず。
ジャングルでのゲリラ戦メインだった南方戦線へ中国戦線を引き払った6.5mmの小銃・軽機関銃が
再投入され弾薬の兵站を棲み分けさせたのでしょうから。
やっぱり九九式軽機関銃カッコいい大日本帝国万歳🙌❗️
Where do you get all of these beautiful guns?
Internet buys, estate sales, dealers, gun shows, friend of a friend etc...
The gun store
“Miller put smoke on that machine gun!”
Is it in original caliber 7.7 Arisaka or rechambered to other round?

Amazing 🤩
The machine gun weighs 10 kilograms. And a bayonet knife was attached to this machine gun. In the best traditions of the samurai.
What does one of these cost in clean condition and what I'd the legality of buying one from a person

Imagine if this had a belt-fed back then..With a ROF that great

I bet the magazines are much harder to find than the machine gun.
I would say that the ratio is 1 to 1 meaning there is one mag out there for every gun but they may not be together!
Get promag to make a drum for it 🤣

Internally, the Type 96 and Type 99 are close to the Hotchkiss. The Type 97 tank machine gun is a copy of the ZB vz. 26
Was that a full 30 rounds?

About 800rpm in this example?
I'm wearing the outfit you're wearing in this video right now, it's my casual wear, even wear it in my sleep.
Type 99 and Bren Gun look alike. Is the internals the same ?
No, similar mechanism but no parts interchangeability.

That gun looks pretty ergo.
Why didn't the WW2 Axis powers Japan, Germany, Italy and satellite countries ever standardize small arms, AAA and artillery ordinance?
They didn't have the logistical capability plus they were on opposite sides of the globe. Even today we don't have total standardization for every weapon.
