I've heard this called both the Type 3 and Type 4. I'm honestly not 100% sure if this thing ever got a Type designation tbh.

A Japanese RCL? Interesting.

Developed in the later stages of WW2, the Type 4 105mm Recoilless Gun was one of Japan's first attempts at a recoilless weapon system. Inspired by German designs, the Type 4 105mm was light-weight alternative to conventional field guns for infantry support and anti-tank duties. Testing wasn't completed by the end of the war and the few prototypes produced were seized by the U.S Army. The U.S Army conducted their own firing test's with 2 examples of the weapon system. Both of which experienced catastrophic malfunctions when fired and exploded. Firing trials were cancelled with only one prototype was left in one piece, which was quickly put into storage. The last remaining example of the gun is on display at the 'U.S. Army Armor & Cavalry Collection' at Fort Moore (Formerly Fort Benning).

By contemporary US Army standards, this tank was a light tank mounting a 75nn gun roughly comparable to that of the M4(75). Compare with M24 Chaffee.
