Although true condition and drama of movie and TV have the difference that comparative, but in those days the Japanese army ever was in an unfavorable situation because of the weakness of automatic weapon really not small, why to provide a machine gun in great quantities about the Japanese army this problem, ever had had very much relevant discussion.
100 type machine gun deploys bayonet and bipod to wear, pure the clumsy practice that belongs to ruin the effect by adding sth superfluous
Novel edition " bright sword " mention, japanese resource shorts, the bullet that same natural resources makes can yield the gun holds to very long, but the machine gun can use up light quickly, so miserly Japanese high level just objects a machine gun. Additional somebody thinks, insularity Japan's limited natural resources should be used at the weapon of sea air battle such as naval aircraft, army is so automatic weapon, tank even the development of heavy artillery because of this lag. But these two kinds of wordings are not quite exact, although Japanese resource and industrial standard compare the top-ranking nation gap such as the United States apparent, but a few is crop of step machine cartridge also as high as, won't offer do not have cheap machine gun bullet, should know to be done not have almost at that time pretty the Kuomintang of war industry army provided quite proportional machine gun. In addition, difference of military expenditure of past years of Japanese land navy is not apparent, and because contradiction of Japanese land navy increases ground force curule to Japanese political circles accuse, often naval budget still is hit to press, under army budget.
Although on the historical fact ordinary, but in the game that 100 type appear often in the later ages such as mission call
In fact, japan is contacted and the time of machine gun of research and development is not late, the Japan between one's early years has introduced MP28 machine gun from Germany, offer Marine Corps and cavalry to use. Go up century 20 time later period, japan ever also ground the machine gun that has sent a variety of experiment character, of course, these machine gun appearance are deformed, although firing rate is high but precision extreme difference and the structure is flimsy. Come out till 100 type machine gun, development of Japanese machine gun just resembles ordering model a little, will objectively look, the function of 100 type machine gun has many window, this gun precision is extremely tall, the firing rate after improving also reachs world advanced level, although its blast off power of bullet of southern type handgun is insufficient, but its weight is very light, suit the Oriental with relatively fragile frame to use. So, 100 type produce the machine gun that turn this kind to was not deployed extensively relative to the quantity, as a result of,also not be performance issue be caused by.
Punch technology lets the weapon such as MP40 be able to make in great quantities, in those days Japan cannot come true
The Japanese army did not provide the true element of the machine gun, still depend on the ignorance of pair of modern wars. Because resource is restricted, japan hopes to let all weapons become a many-sided person, effective cannon-shot has 100 type only 120 meters, deploy 1200 meters rear sight and bipod to wear however! Without doubt, the Japanese army hopes the machine gun also can gues-star machine gun, this kind of thinking is the inheritance that one battle each country uses experience to inchoate machine gun almost. Funnier is, japanese research and development person recieved orders to deploy bayonet to 100 type, the hope undertakes hand-to-hand combat with this. But Japanese army of a gleam of thinks, low range of machine gun power is short, gun body short precision is poor, suppress effect is far be inferior to light machine gun, hand-to-hand combat and accurate fire cannot be compared with musket photograph again, so the machine gun is no use chickens ribs, need not use in great quantities. The hope lets a machine gun change body generalist, reflect Japan to be close to blank almost to the understanding of special type battle, till the later period in the war, just establish partial parachuter and Marine Corps.
The beautiful national capital with inapproachable national power replaces costly Shangmusen with cheap M3 machine gun

Improved the 100 type from MP28 to hold to spare parts of inchoate machine gun to machine difficult inadequacy more, the component such as the punch skill that the Germany when World War II masters manufactures technology, apply successfully at MG42 general machine gun and MP40 machine gun, make its make the edge tool that holds an amount and quality concurrently. The Japan that this kind of technology is at that time is almost unthinkable, look from this bit, small arms technology of Japan is compared the world differs first-rate at that time almost 10 years! The cost of a 100 type exceeds 100 dollars, be equivalent to this record style decuple or of 38 type musket fivefold! But can the efficiency of a 100 type be equal to 10 this ascend? Inevitable cannot! Want to know, weathy United States is pained also at inchoate Shangmusen machine gun the cost of 150 dollars above, replace finally with the M3 machine gun of 20 dollars. The condition is far the Japan that is inferior to the United States, bear force cans be imagined, and Japanese quantity produces power very low, it is with light machine gun exemple, technology of mountain fastness Europe and unripe 96/99 type light machine gun cannot accomplish the crooked handle with supersede function clumsy thoroughly, the destiny nature of 100 type cans be imagined.
Japanese army commando returns original painting, the leftest soldier holds 100 form, they complete collapse in Okinawa battle
Include 100 type inside, the of all kinds machine gun that around of Japanese army of World War II provides does not pass tens of thousands of, with Euramerican powerful nation at every turn 1 million plan machine gun cannot of the same age and language, so, 100 type most is deployed hold out a team at partial sky (airborne arms) with the Marine Corps. Without doubt, feeling of the existence inside the Asia-Pacific area in length and breadth of land has these day type machine guns much lower, cannot reverse the inferior position of firepower of Japanese army dogface more. In Okinawa battle, japanese army sky holds out a team forcibly airport of crash U.S. Army undertakes destructive, this battle also made 100 type brief enlist in army history the battle of respond to a curtain call, although Japanese army sky holds out a team to obtain certain combat gains at first, but fall finally to complete collapse thoroughly in force of U.S. Army strong conflagration, ordinary 100 type machine gun also follows the sum old Japan army of all kinds weapon together, dusty was in in historical endless flow.
