Nice example of a later Type 99. It's a neat that you have a story connecting you to it as well. I saw one of those more rare 12 and something odd inch barreled last ditch type 99's at a gun show for $200. I really wish I got it; the quality of the barrel bands was garage level and the front sight (lacking protective ears) was literally a screw that was chisled to resemble a post. That had to be as late war as the arisaka i read about with a hole in the stock instead of a sling swivel for a rop
Be aware that many "Last Ditch" type 99's can be dangerous to shoot. Not all of them, but many were made of milder steel due to the war shortages and allied bombing in late 1944/45. The type 99 has one of the strongest bolt designs of any rifle used in WWII.
I have in my hands a Type 99 Arisaka from the first run of the first arsenal that made them.... it is without a doubt the most accurate and best made rifle I have ever owned and has the smoothest action of any bolt rifle I have ever fired. The 7.7 round is deadly accurate. It has battle scars and was taken from an island by a Canadien. I acquired it from his sister. It sat in a closet for 37 years until she gave it to me. That was 30 years ago. The quality is impecable
lol and i thought the americans where no different from the japs when it came to dealing iwth the american indians. oh well past is past. overall any human in disregard to nations can be worst then monster. you dont have to add a nation on the list. humans................. not the nation itself.
Murdering Chinese phot is propaganda. That's photo was excution the just criminal. On July 1938, Nanking. That Picture was taken by jpanaese soldiers. It was famouse picture. You must be reserch.
honestly what makes you think we would want to watch a video where you show civilians killed by the same gun you own, it is an awesome gun and all and good for historical value, but we don't need to be reminded what it did or what it was meant for
My dad (I'm too young to own any guns, personally) has one of these rifles, except it was made earlier in the war. Very well made, still shoots fine. It even has the chrysanthemum on it still. He said that he got it from his friend, who used to live in the Philippines.
Hey you give back rifle! We need to kill bunny rabbit. They run faster than tied up chinese people. We so sorry 'bout Pearl Harbor. Boy, you Americans get so mad. You bomb my Grandmom. - Gen. Tadeki - me good Jap!
@mag30th hmm, buddy are you chinese. But how could your father be at Okinawa if your chinese? Then again how do you know how to write in chinese? LOL, sorry just curious.
I like how most modern Japanese History text books don't even have a section on WWII, or if they do it's about two paragraphs, mostly detailing how WE bombed them. Not ONE university in Japan even requires taking history courses that cover WWII to be admitted to the institution. Keep ahold of that gun so people don't try and tell you it was all made up.
@wenaldy Not really, only the Japanese military would go out of their way to bayonet someone, and usually it was unarmed civilians or POWs. the Japanese were notorious for bayonetting unarmed persons. If I included a photos of any other countries military bayonetting persons that would have been random, but it wouldn’t be complete to talk about the military history of this rifle and exclude the bayonetting.
I believe you can rest assured that this particular last ditch rifle was not used in China to bayonet civilians. It was probably used in Okinawa for a few minutes, and then dropped by the dead man (or boy) who was holding it.
@mag30th You are right about the Japanese army during ww2..The Germans was notorious for taking hostages among the civilian pop.and execute them as revenge on freedom-fighters that they couldnt catch..Butning of the nearest village was also a "normal" response..The Japanese really did horrible things on a regular basic,just like the Germans..Must be the"master-race"nonsens that drives such things,the enemy isnt really human anyway..If they think themselves superior its perhaps easier to justify?
They had the same "Master Race" garbage in their heads as the people murdering "untermensch" in Germany did.
Thinking of the rest of humanity as sub-human makes it easier for soldiers to do this sort of thing. They're just animals, and you're doing everyone a favor in getting rid of them so that the real people can have more room to live and play.
@macrick seriously, notice the "" around the word. The first commenter spelt it incorrectly and I was mocking his racist comment. Mind your own business.
@macrick give me an example excluding yamaha and the O.S. model engines. because toyota used to be alright, then they went to quanity and no quality.and the reason why i exclude yamaha is because the bike are not bad in competition. and the reason why i exclude O.S. is because, well, ther the only mass produced model engine that last anymore. so give me an example of a product thats made today with quality and can last.
@aaronzack14 Well, to be frank, all commercial products are not made to last a lifetime nowadays. (Made in PRC) i do own any motor vehicles, btw. however, i can comment on running shoes, Asics running shoes tend to last over 2 yrs (I used to jog an avg of 15km per wk) while the rest of brands from other countries rarely last beyond 1 year.
However, I can say that for any commercial products, it all depends on how good is the RnD and QC team.
Oriental / Mongoloid , Japanese( Nationality ) to be exact. In fact, most Japanese products are of good quality if not better in some ways. Depends on what you are talking abt actually.
the emporer sign isnt ground off all of them mine still has it when the japanese thought they were going to be captured or killed they were ordered to grind them off if they were caught by suprise it was still on there
I got a sweet little early Type 38 Arisaka. Havn't fired it in years, still got some Norma ammo to go with it. I remember back in the early 80's we'd go to gun shows. My father would always pass on the last ditch rifles because of safety concerns, but I see your not at all concerned about firing the weapon.
Which isn't a surprise it looks like that, if I remember correctly the Arisaka was based on the Mauser while the 7.7mm later ones shot was basically a rimless .303 British.
@forkliftop1 I am sure that the rifle is very valuable to collectors, considering that most of the Emperor's Seals were ground off after the war. This example of rareness is comparable to the Mauser 1891 Argentine, those that still bear the Argentinian crest are far more valuable than those that do not have the crest on the reciever. My father owns two Mauser 1891 carbines, issued to artillery crews in Argentina, both with original crests. Cheers.
im just the luckiest boy in the world, i picked up a last ditch rifle with imperial crisamthemum (lazy spelling) still on it; at an auction for only $650 NZD (about $450 USD)
you say that about the murder of civilians was fault of japanese soldiers, it was ordered by the higher ranks. you're full of shit man, trying to make look bad someone who isnt
@spanish111japan 1 of 2 And you need to work on your history. In some cases, such as in China, it was ordered, but in other cases, such as their POW camps, death ships and the Bataan death march (just to name a few); it was not ordered, but overlooked by superiors. The Japanese were the most notorious human butchers of any modern war, not my opinion, but fact.
@spanish111japan 2 of 2 How many other armies are you aware of that the soldiers would cut penises off of men and sew them into their mouths? This was not ordered, but overlooked. They were human butchers.
Did you even get your information right? Youre full of american bullshit. Look, don't even reply, coming from an american i only get shit. You need to improve your history, not me. Research, is the word you need to know. You're brainwashed with american patriotism man. The biggest bastards, the american bitches. Look how fucked up is the world nowadays. FUCK YOU, AMERICA.
@spanish111japan Bitch about the American gov all you want but you better stop at the American people. Quit generalizing populations , it's the same shit you act like your fighting against. Don't forget without America Spain would be a Nazi state today.
My fucking country wouldnt be a nazi shit, since the fucking nazis lost the fucking war, and spain didn't even go to the fucking war, that would have fucking ended when the fucking dictator had fucking died.
Don't fucking talk if you have fucking idea, fucktard.
@spanish111japan God your stupid as fuck. Hitler bombed the shit out of Spain from 1936-39 and the regime he set up was pro-facist. Learn your countries history dumbass holy shit. Europe was pretty much taken over by Hitler in 1941. If the U.S. didn't help England, he could've easily invaded England and then focused all attention on Russia and then ended any hope of allied resistance. Oh and learn to use "fuck" in a smart way, spewing it out doesnt make you right.
Hitler bombed and helped us in civil war, he didn't attack spain, you fucktard. I know my history, i never fucking said anything about my country wasn't fascist. And, man, you're a fucking fucktard, you didn't fucking catch why i fucking use the fucking fuck word?
You're dumber than a shit.
The civil war and the WWII are very different things, you humiliate yourself saying that i don't know my history or talking like i said it. You're so pathetic you humiliate yourself
@spanish111japan Yeah did i say that the civil war and ww2 were the same thing? No retard. Learn to read before you bitch holy shit you dumbfuck. So he helped spain set up a a pro fascist govt and thats somehow a good thing? You should be happy that govt doesnt exist anymore because the allies liberated europe, a feat which could'nt have been done without America. I would expect such a dumb response from an illiterate 13 year old european. Francisco Franco was a fascist.
You related that with WWII, wich haves NOTHING to see with, you little bastard. If you're going to type, think, you're a dumbass. I think i should not learn to read, since you don't see what you type.
Hitler didn't dominate us, Franco did, WWII didn't change anything, It's like talking about the cold war and suddenly you come out with the american civil war.
What can you hope from a 7 year old american?.
You give me pitty man, if you have problems, i will help you.
@spanish111japan Haha right ok great comeback from an educated response. Spanish111Japan? Yeahs thats fucking lame. If hitler had won i guraentee him and your buddy Franco would be best pals and you would be living in facist state. Im done with this conversation, I dont debate facts with jealous, japanese fanboy europeans.
Educated response? Why? I'm just acting with the education you have, so you critize yourself. And you still didn't catch it...
If hitler had won or not Franco would have still been in power, because he was in power, you stupid idiot. We didn't go to WWII. Since he died we changed. Get your facts right, you know less history than a monkey masturbating.
@spanish111japan OK get this though your ignorant skull. Say Hitler wins the war and takes over Europe, and Franco is in power after. You think Spain would be different than it is today? OF COURSE IT WOULD BE. They would be best pals, and when Franco died, another fascist would have taken over or maybe even NAZI. Had The U.S. not stormed through Europe and got rid of fascism, it would still exist in Spain today. Get it? Show some respect to the people who died so you can talk shit today.
It would not. Hitler went through his business, Spain was under fascism, it would not change, or you think Hitler would invade an allied country? Little bastard, learn facts, it would be the same, specially if an spanish person tells you, you dumbfuck yankee.
@spanish111japan Haha ok man believe whatever you want. If you can honestly tell yourself Spain would be fine with Hitler as a neighbor go ahead. I definitely know my facts while you go on assumptions that Span would somehow not be affected if a nazi superpower was next to it. Stupid and ignorant. Like I said, all you can come up with are insults about Americans that you think piss me off (LOL) when in reality you just look immature as fuck. Peace bitch.
Sigh, you don't really understand, do you silly teenager?
Franco was like Hitler, he acted the same without or with him. I tell you facts, you just tell me it would be different, You're a fucking ignorant, won't you deal with it?
And no, i'm not pissing you off, i'm telling you what you ware. And third, about looking immature, in the beggining of the argue, i said i would act the same how you act, so calling me immature is like insulting yourself. How do you feel :)?
@spanish111japan 1st: I'm not a teenager dumbass. 2nd: What facts did you tell me? That the civil war and WW2 were different, ok great you got me on that one man. Plus learn some grammar for fucks sake. Im an ignorant? Ignorant isn't a noun its an adjective. You troll around videos insulting Americans and I'm immature? See I don't generalize populations like you do. Your obviously do dumb to realize living next to a Nazi state would be 10 times worse than it is now for you. GOODBYE EUROTRASH.
@THEKINGOFMETROPOLIS you speak as if the Americans went against the whole german army...what about the Canadians, British and the Russians...lets not kid ourselves here, the Russian were facing 90% of the German army, while the Americans,Canadians and British were facing the 10%...Russia stormed europe and got ride of facism..the Americans helped..
@Nintendogenius Yeah well I was in a heated debate with a European talking shit on Americans saying we did nothing to help the war effort. Yes Russia faced the majority of the Nazis, but the U.S. faced Japan almost alone besides the Australian and few British units. We also provided most of the soldiers in Western Europe. Not downplaying the Brits or Canadians part, thats just a fact. And at the very least the American contribution allowed western culture to exist west of the Berlin Wall.
@Plekky08 Anytime man haha. To me, America, England and Australia are really nations whose fates are sort of tied to each other. As western nations we usually have a common enemy, and together I dont think we can be beaten. But yeah the RAF may have saved the war at the Battle of Britain. We helped in weapons sure but the British were smart enough to capitalize on radar. And in all reality, America couldnt have won without England being a launching pad into Europe. Glad your on our side!
@THEKINGOFMETROPOLIS Well the RAF would have lost, and they were losing, but then The RAF started bombing Berlin. In enraged Hitler decided to, agiants all advice, bomb London and divert bombers from airfields to civillian targets. This let the RAF repair Airfields,import munitions and train pilots, renewing the RAF who eventually defeatated the exhausted LUfftwaffe pilots. THis lead to the delay of Barborssa untli the Winter, essentialy setting off the first dominoe
@mag30th Or never heard of the soldiers who were ordered to try on civilians medicines, by giving them illneses? The japanese also did that true? Because it's not written or it's written doesn't mean it's the truth, but i trust more someone who saw it, than an american book with 'History' on it.
Research yourself, you can block me, delete my emssages, and all you want. But we will know who knows the right, if you want to think that, think it. But my grandfather was a foot soldier and was in Manchuria.
Howcome america paints it in moovies as the japanese like monsters and in other moovies it's not like that? Why should Japan lie about their past?
Neither tell me the atomic bomb was neccesary!. It was a pure massacre.
@spanish111japan You said that "my grandfather was a foot soldier and was in Manchuria." Who was he fighting there and why?
And you also state, "Neither tell me the atomic bomb was necessary!. It was a pure massacre." You would have preferred if we would have firebombed Japan continually, after all, the atomic bombs only killed 150,000, while the firebombing killed over a million?
And please don’t forget to respond to my question about you grandfather, what was he doing there, and why?
@mag30th The classic answer from an american. Firebombing and killing is the only solution right? You could have dealed peace, be intelligent.
My grandparent was an spanish kid who had to leave Spain for the civil war, and had to go to Russia, many kids were sent to russia from spain by our civil war. He joined the Russian army and from there he fought in manchuria against the japanese. But i don't know many about him, my family lost contact with him after the war, he only came once back
@mag30th And by the way, only 150.000? You talk like it was nothing! You talk about life like it was shit. Do you think that is normal to wake up one morning and die because the enemy said so? Please, don't reply with your stupid answers!
@Liuyifeng19 a soldier doing his duty as assigned is no war criminal nor hero. he is just a soldier. now unless he killed people innocently or mistreated the POWs then yes he would be a criminal. but we dont know that for sure
Some of the German last ditch weapons showed a lot of slip shod quality too. Quantity over quality at a critical time. Some would say that this shows that the Japanese mainland and its leaders were willing to fight to the very last man, woman and child. The Germans were willing to fight to the very last square inch. There was a plan to activate Wherwolf cells to fight a partisan type war against the Allies and "collaborators." This did not become a full scale resistance movement.
My grandfather just showed me his Arisaka Type 99 that brought back from the Pacific. Its the same last ditch model you have but the Chrysanthemum is not grounded off and has a detachable bayonet. Would this rifle be worth a lot of money?
@steveeeholla Not exactly. Rifles with intact Chrsanthemums are not that rare. In fact, they're all over the place. It also depends on the markings, the manufactuer, In reality, it depends on where you live, supply and demand, etc. But the rifle and the bayonet together might make a good deal. Pictures or a video would help greatly.
@something01992 not all arisakas have the mum on the receiver. Most were grounded off or defaced, but if you have a arisaka with the mum intact, that brings the value up.
@pulaski789 True, an Arisaka with the mum intact does raise its value, but most people treat it like it's a 1 out of 500 rifle. It's really not, at least, that I've seen. Sure, you might have to look a little longer, but inevitably, you will find a rifle with an intact mum.
That "bayoneting civilians" pic was a bit gratuitous.. I mean, people are not going to show pictures of the Nankin massacre every time they make a video about Japanese militaria !
video is interesting but was it really necessary to include a photo of them bayonetting civilians? it was really out of place with the rest of the video content.
@warfan7x the gun's purpose is to kill. do u think he would have found any reality pictures of ija soldiers using guns to carry water buckets for civilians?
@warfan7x the gun's purpose is to kill. do u think he would have found any reality pictures of ija soldiers using guns to carry water buckets for civilians?
My first gun ever in 1978. We walked into a flea market and saw a pristine Type 99 with totally cool AA sight. My brother whispers, "If it`s under 300 bucks, do it!" I asked the man and he said, "Will you go $55?!?" So then we ask about the one underneath it on the rack. "6.5 Carcano... Same as Lee Harvey Oswald" "uh....Sold!" K-98 Ba ding!! Walked in a novice ... Walked out ready to defend The Cherkassy Pocket...
the japanese were a ruthless people during worl war 2 they cared about nothing but victory. but when they pissed us americans off we kicked there ass all across the pacific and sent them home whining like the little piece of shits they were. i still say the m1 garand is by far one of the best rifles ever anufactured by the usa id go with an m1 garand over an m16 anyday
My grandpa was an IJA veteran, captured during the Battle of Visaya in early july '44 and he reads many of the comments on this page with sadness. D:
He's a peaceful old man, who I doubt did anything wrong. He was required to join the IJA straight outta highschool.
I gotta admit he's funny with his war stories, dealing about how his buddies would bayonet slap eachother's asses, and put VERY hot filipino peppers in eachother's rice.
The Japanese could have done a lot more damage than they did if not for flaws. Minoru Genda suggested a Third wave and a follow up attack at PH, which was rejected. If the Japanese HAD followed up with a third wave, targeting Oil reserves, the consequences would have been critical for the US. It would have postponed our Pacific naval operations by a year, and prolonged the war.
Japanese infantry tactics were... wasteful. Did pretty good at the start, but we had them figured out by the end....
hey, thanks for making this video, very descriptive. i was just wondering if your father had any stories that he told you as a child, my grandfather was taken as a i dont want to say POW because he did not fight because he was the youngest in his family, but the germans took him as a prisoner none the less in italy and forced him to dig trenches until he escaped.
does anyone know where you can get 6.5 Arisaka ammunition? I saw a 6.5mm Arisaka rifle for sale for like 150 bucks that looked brand new, still have the Chrysanthemum on the top, but the guy said theres no ammo being made for them anymore.
I have an older 7.7 serial number 482 that is made with excellent quality. If I were you I would not fire that rifle if you paid me. Towards the end of the war, when the quality of the Type 99, 7.7, went extremely downhill, many Japanese soldiers were killed, or injured, by their own rifles. The bolt of the poorer quality 7.7 Type 99 many times would disengage while firing & the bolt would fly back into the face, or forehead, of the shooter. Please take some good advise from me and a few others.
Damn, you are a good shot man! I have watched your other videos shooting at insane distances with open sights, and I am amazed that you can even see what you are aiming at!
Im glad to see that you fire this rifle. I know a lot of people who have rifles picked up off the beaches of normandy, and several of my friends own rifles their grandfathers picked up on the islands. They never shoot them, never look at them. Its truly a waste of history.
@mag30th The Remington Model of 1917 had the mauser claw on it as well. It was cock on close however like the Enfield, and the safety mimics that of the Enfield No.1 Mk.3 except on the right side, not the left. The Springfield M1903 was an outright copy of the Kar98k apparently though I've yet to get a 1903.
@mag30th, I believe the ones you arn't ever supposed to shoot are the very rare really last ditch ones with *cast iron* recievers. But I am not sure any of those were really actually issued to anyone. Obviously, that isn't cast iron. And yes, the Arisaka was rated the strongest action. And as for copying, the US copied the Mauser action for the Springfield, and did not improve it!
@Howie262 The japanese don't turn it shitty it's just by the end of the war they had a desperate need to get as many rifles as possible to equip their soldiers which meant taking short cuts.
@Howie262 I'm not japanese, but i have to admit that they make some things the best like: Most US game consols, Dirt bikes : Yamaha, Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki. u'll rarely see a serious non-japanese dirt bike. They make great airsoft guns, cars like toyota, mitsubishi, subaru, etc...as far as guns go, my favorites= german and american, period.
@1hunterdale You're saying every last japanese soldier should have been killed? Really? If you think about it they were just men with orders, just like their American, British and other counterparts, you can't blame a soldier for following orders, just the men issuing them.

@macrick give me an example excluding yamaha and the O.S. model engines. because toyota used to be alright, then they went to quanity and no quality.and the reason why i exclude yamaha is because the bike are not bad in competition. and the reason why i exclude O.S. is because, well, ther the only mass produced model engine that last anymore. so give me an example of a product thats made today with quality and can last.

@aaronzack14 Well, to be frank, all commercial products are not made to last a lifetime nowadays. (Made in PRC) i do own any motor vehicles, btw. however, i can comment on running shoes, Asics running shoes tend to last over 2 yrs (I used to jog an avg of 15km per wk) while the rest of brands from other countries rarely last beyond 1 year.
However, I can say that for any commercial products, it all depends on how good is the RnD and QC team.

I got a sweet little early Type 38 Arisaka. Havn't fired it in years, still got some Norma ammo to go with it. I remember back in the early 80's we'd go to gun shows. My father would always pass on the last ditch rifles because of safety concerns, but I see your not at all concerned about firing the weapon.

Which isn't a surprise it looks like that, if I remember correctly the Arisaka was based on the Mauser while the 7.7mm later ones shot was basically a rimless .303 British.

I have a "last ditch" type 99 that still bears the emperor's seal on it , what if any difference would that mean to the overall value to the rifle ?
forkliftop1 1 year ago
@forkliftop1 I am sure that the rifle is very valuable to collectors, considering that most of the Emperor's Seals were ground off after the war. This example of rareness is comparable to the Mauser 1891 Argentine, those that still bear the Argentinian crest are far more valuable than those that do not have the crest on the reciever. My father owns two Mauser 1891 carbines, issued to artillery crews in Argentina, both with original crests. Cheers.

@spanish111japan 1 of 2 And you need to work on your history. In some cases, such as in China, it was ordered, but in other cases, such as their POW camps, death ships and the Bataan death march (just to name a few); it was not ordered, but overlooked by superiors.

Suomipanzerdiv13 1 year ago
Some of the German last ditch weapons showed a lot of slip shod quality too. Quantity over quality at a critical time. Some would say that this shows that the Japanese mainland and its leaders were willing to fight to the very last man, woman and child. The Germans were willing to fight to the very last square inch. There was a plan to activate Wherwolf cells to fight a partisan type war against the Allies and "collaborators." This did not become a full scale resistance movement.

@steveeeholla Not exactly. Rifles with intact Chrsanthemums are not that rare. In fact, they're all over the place. It also depends on the markings, the manufactuer, In reality, it depends on where you live, supply and demand, etc. But the rifle and the bayonet together might make a good deal. Pictures or a video would help greatly.

The Japanese could have done a lot more damage than they did if not for flaws. Minoru Genda suggested a Third wave and a follow up attack at PH, which was rejected. If the Japanese HAD followed up with a third wave, targeting Oil reserves, the consequences would have been critical for the US. It would have postponed our Pacific naval operations by a year, and prolonged the war.
Japanese infantry tactics were... wasteful. Did pretty good at the start, but we had them figured out by the end....

I have an older 7.7 serial number 482 that is made with excellent quality. If I were you I would not fire that rifle if you paid me. Towards the end of the war, when the quality of the Type 99, 7.7, went extremely downhill, many Japanese soldiers were killed, or injured, by their own rifles. The bolt of the poorer quality 7.7 Type 99 many times would disengage while firing & the bolt would fly back into the face, or forehead, of the shooter. Please take some good advise from me and a few others.

And as for copying, the US copied the Mauser action for the Springfield, and did not improve it!
