- Today, we revisit a neat old rifle from WWII. This is the Japanese Arisaka Type 2 in 7.7mm. This is a takedown version of the standard Type 99, developed for use by the paratroopers.

I didn't even know takedowns existed back then. I'm kind of like you; certain things (especially rare things) I like having in pairs so I can use one without feeling guilty. I used to be super OCD about my guns, knives, etc showing wear. Now, I just buy 2 and don't worry about it👍
Oh takedowns date back to the 19th century. They were originally meant for and popular with sports shooters. They came apart so they could fit them into bags or cases for carrying onboard trains or in early automobiles. Usually these were shotguns.
@@misha5670 thanks for the additional information! So I guess my 10/22 takedown isn't as special as I thought lol
When I lived in California, there was a place down in Culver City (LA area) that had a bunch of old guns. They had one of these but it was way more than I could afford.
A good bedtime story.
Glad it worked as i wasn't going to try singing for you.
The rifle is great, however I'm impressed with the new fridge
James Mattimore dang, that thing is sharp!
and I hear it PURRRRRRS like a kitten! ;-)
Alas, I can’t say any of my Japanese rifle stories come close to your Type 2, but I’ll admit it’s always entertaining having to prove many of my fellow WW2 enthusiasts wrong when they say “The Japanese didn’t issue out Carcano’s during the war” and then proving a point by pulling out a Type I rifle along with a Type 38 to compare it to so they know it’s not a bunch of BS.
Alas, the Type 2 gets to stay as one of my grail guns just due to being significantly more expensive than what I’ve paid for any of my other firearms, up there next to a Type 97 sniper and Type 19 Nambu.
I really want to start a Japanese firearm collection. And I need to start it before prices start to shoot up. Always thought they were pretty neat looking.
Unfortunately, prices have already shot up quite a bit, esp with a full intact Type 99.
@@misha5670 Yeah. It seems like most surplus firearms have been rising in price.
that how I feel about my AR-180 love to shoot it but scared somethings going to break and I will not be able to fix!
God bless you Misha!!!
I got to play with one of those at my college when they brought a bunch of World War 2 guns in for the last day on my American Military History class. super cool. got to hold a Garand, Arisaka with antiaircraft sights, and some other stuff like Gewehrs with massive bayonets.
For you it was a special day, for me it was just Tuesday lol. (hopefully people get the paraphrase?)
@@misha5670 Street Fighter all the way lol
Mishaco! Please don't stop making videos!
Your the real deal I love watching your videos so amazing
When u need a fast PnP multiple barrel setup gun
So very jealous. I'll just have to be satisfied with my early model Type 44
The WW2 German Fallschirmager paratroopers desperately needed a take-down rifle. The Fallschirmjager depended upon retrieving their Mauser 98K bolt action rifles and MP40 submachine guns from parachute dropped storage containers. Sometimes it was difficult to find the storage container. Fallschirmjagers carried a semi-automatic pistol for close-range self-defense.
The Fallschirmjager never developed a take-down 98K bolt-action rifle. Yet they could have copied and adapted the Japanese Imperial Army take-down Arisaka to the Mauser 98K. Or simpler yet, purchase whatever Japanese paratrooper take-down rifles needed, chambered for the German 7.92 x 57mm. This is one of military history's great omission mysteries, why the German Luftwaffe did not develop or adopt a take-down Mauser 98K for its paratroopers.
Didn't they used that side barrel fg42
I didn't even know they had paratroopers to be honest. Never really thought about it. Hell, I'm surprised they were issued chutes.😁 Cool rifle though.
Harsh, heh.
Sure, they had them, though of course as the war drug on and Japan was more and more on the defense, paratroopers really just became normal ground soldiers; though skilled ones.
An excellent presentation! I purchased one twenty years ago for far more than it’s was worth at the time. Be careful of replica bayonets . Also a few were made into spotters, rechambered into 308.
Mine has a serial number of 1644, all parts are matching serial numbers. I also have the sling with the Japanese Soldiers name on it along with the serial number of the weapon. It appears your’s also has the imperial mum on it as well. Do you know if this is common? A dealer was acting like it was a rarity. Citing most brought back had to be ground off. I know how mine was brought back into the states. I also know why I still have the original sling as well. It was removed from a deceased Japanese soldier. I’m still researching this weapon which is how I ran across your video.
What an awesome rifle, beautiful too.
Thanks much for watching
Imagine this be a carcano with a fast swap barrel and a SVD scope
Curious if you know the metal and dimensions of the d ring that is on the pin that holds it together?
🤣🤣🤣🤣 is this for SDI
It always boggles my mind how people fought with these weapons.
And very, tradgeically effectively too.
Oh yea, Scorpio’s rifle from Dirty Harry
Yup. It’s crazy how different it looks in the film tho lol
