Скачать или смотреть Type 100 Submachine Gun — Japan’s WW2 SMG Explained

Meet the Type 100 submachine gun, the Imperial Japanese Army’s scarce WW2 SMG chambered in 8×22 mm Nambu. Early‑war rifles featured a perforated barrel jacket, complex sights, and even a bayonet lug, while late‑war “simplified” models removed non‑essentials to speed production. Despite limited numbers compared to Allied and Soviet SMGs, the Type 100 served in close‑quarters fighting across the Pacific and Southeast Asia. This video uses reference‑locked imagery, parallax‑only camera motion, stencil overlays, and BBC‑style narration for a clean, historical look.​

Key features highlighted: receiver and top‑cover profile, barrel jacket perforations, sight pattern changes, stock geometry, and side‑feeding box magazine. The 8×22 mm Nambu cartridge and modest cyclic rate made the Type 100 controllable, while late‑pattern cost‑savings reflected Japan’s wartime industry under strain. Field photos show both early and late variants in service, but total production remained relatively small compared to Axis and Allied counterparts.​
