People often forget that during ww1 some effective anti air was just ground troops with bolt actions. As planes where made of canvas at the time so bullets could easly get through and hit something important. Like the engien or pilot.

WW1 & 2 guns were so interesting because they were still figuring out what worked and what didn't. Some countries were doing some wildly unique and out of the box stuff that got copied and modified by the next country and so on and so forth. It was just an explosion of ingenuity and engineering all in a desperate attempt to kill each other as efficiently as possible and the machines that were created in that time will never be able to be replicated again. Every gun and accessory is like a time capsule.

Man, I'd recognize Sailor Moon's theme if it was played on potatoes. Cool video, too.

Games rarely got Type 11 reload right, a lot of them just replace the hopper (no you can't do that in the field)

[chipchilinka]

For me, in Battlefield 5, it is unclear why it is possible to report clips to the type 11 bunker only when 5, 10, 15, 20 rounds are left. And not at any time as in Battlefield 1 at Perino m1908

That is the most Japanese Sailor Moon theme i ever heared in my life

[zulkifligumilang]

If you think is japanese weapon is weird just remember that Japanese enter ww2 with logistical nightmare of ammunition they use, you got 6.5 arisaka, 6.5 arisaka for type 11, 7.7 arisaka that comes with rimless, semi rimmed and rimmed version (the latter is basically just .303 british) and their logistical system is worse than russian/soviet logistic system even most of the time the commander barely supplies their front line soldier with adequate supply and don't make me explain the dysfunction rivalries between the army and navy with each of them often refusing to help with logistic/transport.

The samurais katana gets a rifle with sights to aim high and reach for the sky

The anti aircraft sights sound stupid, but its still taught today. During Marine Corps combat training they taught us how to respond to air attack on patrol. The drill was to open up the column, lay on our backs and aim our rifles up at the "airplane" attacking us. We only practiced this once, but 10 years ago this WAS part of the curriculum so it's still in the textbooks in modern times.

Originally the type 94 wasn’t supposed to have an exposed transfer bar, it was a cost saving measure due to the situation in Japan, the type 99 also featured a folding monopod that was also removed later in the war

[andrehashimoto]

One gun rarer than most that IS made in Nippon Steel
Type 4 Rifle. Basically a Made in Japan Garand, chambered in JP Caliber, and having a few neat features that would be Lovely in a Garand. But was in development SO LATE in the Pacific War theater it never saw service aside the handful prototypes, which were Lost and only Papers with the design (Based off either Captured or Disposed Broken ones found in battlefield) remained

Featuring Medal of Honor Pacific Assault (1:26) makes me feel old

5/5 Will continue watching your videos.

[Ghost-yfkm]

The Sailor Moon theme with traditional instruments slap hard tho.

[The_Sock_]

IT TOOK ME 45 SECONDS TO REALIZE THE MUSIC WAS SAILOR MOON FOR FUCKS SAKE XDD

[Kiskaa-]

My man did not just use the Sailor Moon OP

[TheMaximus]

Next: why in older WW2 games you cannot reload the M1Garand until fully deplete the ammo.

[haraffael]

Anti Aircraft sights are used in volley fire. You basically have as many people as possible to shoot at that plane. It was a good method to use against early planes.

[Squidsha]

Type 94 Pistol was not "notorious" during the war and the sear was not "extremely sensitive". Multiple handguns from the era had exposed sears but even Type 94's safety prevented discharge. Only Type 94 is paraded because "those wacky Japanese" makes for easy views. As accurate as Garand thumb being "common" or Garand ping used to trick enemy infantry... In reality the handgun was praised by tank crews.

Multiple nations included information on firing at aircraft in their field manuals. Type 99 Rifle's inclusion of the sight is worth noting but it's not unheard of. In fact we have photographs of I-15 shot down by infantry...

I'd personally like to see some games implement the Murata series into them, it's a series I'd like to acquire a few specimens of. I should also really revamp my old models and animations of them. They're pretty often forgotten about in terms of Japanese firearms development from my observations.

[boomblam]

I know we all chuckled at the AA-rifle.

But couple of years back when I was doing my service, we were taught how to group-fire assault rifles at a low-hovering helicopters 💀

"Enemy helicopter 11 o'clock."

"Lead 5 meters."

"Attention, fire!"
