Type 5 Rifle

Type 5 Rifle

The Type 5 Rifle was a Japanese experimental semi-automatic rifle. It was a copy of the American M1 Garand, with a 10 round charger-loading magazine and Japanese style tangent sights, which had been developed alongside several other experimental semi-automatic rifles. However, none of the rifles entered into service before the end of the war, with only 250 made and many never assembled. There were several problems with jamming and feed systems, which delayed its testing.
