Arisaka

The Arisaka rifles are named after Colonel Nariakira Arisaka, an officer responsible for development of replacement rifle for Japanese military in early 20th century. In this particular Arisaka rifle the Type 38 model designation (which is replicated in this airsoft replica) refers to the 38th year of the reign of Emperor Meiji (in Western time the year 1905, hence M1905).

Arisaka Type 99 was a replacement for the Arisaka Type 38, which cartridge was deemed insufficient in lethality. Type 99 was introduced in 1939 and was chambered to same 7.92mm ammunition that was already used in Japanese machine guns. Because of the war developments Type 99 never replaced Type 38 in service and rather supplemented it.
