I have seen a couple in the real world.

The Japanese really hated their soldiers in spite of all their hype, or they would have given them better equipment.

My father served in the South Pacific during WWII in a field hospital, and he recounted going through Japanese medical units and hospitals to scrounge their stuff, which he said was better than the Gi issue

Are you referring to the medical supplies.... or the pistol?

[hikermor]

Specifically the med supplies, but he also liberated a 7mm Nambu, still in the family...Looks liek a pretty decent firearm, although underpowered for a lot of combat.

When I was first approached by the seller of the nambu, all I was told it was a old jap pistol that his granddad had brought back from the war. I thought oh boy a papa nambu lol. It ended up being the type 94 but I bought it anyway, figured it should be worth the 150 I paid for it. Then a week later a mutual friend dropped off a full box of 8mm nambu, boxer primed. He said he found it at a garage sale for 5 bucks. Wouldn't take no money for the ammo.
