1:11 Here we see the traditional "Wave Motion" effect that is standard with most Japanese armaments, which fires an extremely powerful beam forward from the weapon, capable of inducing extreme collateral damage, in this case, taking out the entire side of the building that the rifleman's target dared to cower behind.

[@elgooso9645]

Great video like usual. However the Japanese removing the dust covers from the weapon is a myth. It stems from US Marines taking the weapons back as trophies in WW2. The Navy would take the bolt out of the weapon so they didn't have more live weapons floating around and the dust covers would fall off of the bolt when not in the weapon. The Japanese would never ditch the dust covers because the weapon was a tribute to their devotion to the Emperor and they wanted to keep them in prestige condition.(I'm not trying to be toxic just thought you would want to know)

[@shockwave6213]

@@Kenton_Stills They seem to have been following the trend of bigger bullets and more power = better. Logistically, it was a bad move. Im personally torn on the subject because on one hand, I can add 2 Japanese rifles to my collection, but on the other hand, I need to find and buy 2 expensive military surplus rifles. LOL. But hopefully I can find some sporters that I can restore with parts bought online, as is my hobby. I like saving old military guns from Bubba.

[@theweditor3612]

@@Kenton_Stills The type 38 wasn’t performing well in china, it had little stopping power, but they observed that the type 92 mounted machine gun which was chambered in 7.7 seemed to stop the chinese soldiers a lot better. So they decided logistically to change all their main weapons to 7.7 (standardize ammunition). However they gained new enemies and thus the type 38 remained in service and kept being produced, as they couldnt completely replace the rifle due to production lacking in speed. They still had old type 38’s produced in the interwar years along with lots of ammunition. The type 38 kept being used because not using it would have made equipping soldiers harder. It wasnt uncommon to see different squads in a company each carrying different sets of rifles. This did indeed however created a logistical nightmare having a deemed obsolete ammo and weapons still being used everywhere (the type 96 and type 11 lmg’s were still in use as well).

[@roo99710]

Well yeah... Its a MACHINE GUN

[@jason200912]

They foolishly went to 7.7 while keeping 6.5 because they thought they were missing out on long range 2 mile shots. They were jealous of the Chinese 8mm trash mausers and there was a silly myth that the big bullets were more lethal. They were only more lethal at long sniper distances

[@georgewhitworth9742]

@@rubberwoody Indeed, sadly out of date recorded history now.

[@rubberwoody]

one very important thing to remember about the 6.5mm arisaka round is that the smaller size of the bullet made it horribly damaging to flesh, as it caused cavitation as it tumbled through the body

[@billmelater6470]

That's not how that works.

[@Fr_87]

@@billmelater6470 That is indeed how it works, it's why the Americans use 5.56 and not 7.62 - it shreds organs while larger rounds just fly through.

[@austingerner-rose697]

@@Fr_87 You're kinda right. We use 5.56 because you can carry far more of it than 7.62, less recoil and because it does work fine within the ranges combat often takes place (however our military is looking at larger calibers right now). I'm really not sure if 6.5 Arisaka would tumble, as 6.5 usually has a longer/larger core density and it being a heavier/slower bullet than 55 grain 5.56 I think it would just punch through, maybe fragment.

[@shockwave6213]

A long 6.5mm bullet will tumble and yaw to cause massive cavitation. The Austro-Hungarian Empire protested the use of Italian "Pencil bullets" from their Carcano rifles due to the "Explosive effect" it had on the body. JFK took a 6.5mm bullet and his head popped like a melon. Had it been a 30-06 bullet or similar spitzer type bullet, it would have taken the top of his skull off but with much less explosive force, as those bullets pass through a target rather cleanly.

[@DLBBALL]

I believe it's a myth that the Japanese got rid of those dust covers. Knowing Imperial Japan, if they didn't keep their guns in perfect condition / respect them, they probably got some sort of disciplinary action.

[@TheMadalucard]

The dust covers got lost when the Navy started bringing back captured examples, since the dust cover is attached to the bolt, when the bolts were removed for safety reasons the dust covers usually got lost or thrown away. But also the dust covers simply stopped being made for the Type 99 when materials got scarcer.

Great guide mate. I really like this rifle. It's probably my favourite DLC weapon they've included so far. It's great at short to medium range and the iron sights are comfortable to popping headshots at longer ranges.

[@cetologist]

Sonikkts It has better stats than the Martini Henry, and a larger sweetspot that covers the Martini Henry's. It might even be better than the Martini.

[@DLBBALL]

Blistening Resources The Martini has the best sweetspot...

[@cetologist]

Dude Lmao the SMLE covers most of the Martini's sweetspot, + more. So does the Arisaka. Also, the SMLE has 10 bullets in the mag, compared to the Martini's 1 bullet - so the Martini is sluggish compared to the SMLE, and when using infantry rifles, that's a downside for the Martini. Gotta admit the Martini has the best firing sound though.

[@iglooproductions]

I think this is the best all-around rifle in the scout class, I’m loving it for a slightly more run and gun “aggressive” style in TDM games, since that’s all I play and make gameplay commentary vids on. Normally I’d grab the SMLE and post up somewhere but with this thing I can run around as if I have something like the RSC for the medic class. This shit is an addictive gun once you get used to it. I find I just use it on every single TDM map. You do have to be good and fast with transitioning to your side arm though. I guess the next update will have a scoped version, not sure I’ll like that or not. Iron sights seem to fit for this “sweet spot” range.

[@ryanwallis1121]

I love how this gun has some similar elements from my two favourite rifles in the game (smle mkiii and the martini henry) definitely worth that painful unlock

Late but, akemashite omedeto gozaimasu! Love the history behind this rifle, which seemed to be overshadowed by the more popular Type 99

[@ETFRoss]

Would recommend watching C&Rsenal's video on the Type 38. There doesn't seem to be any evidence that the Japanese soldiers got rid of their bolt covers. For them, the rifle was a tool that was to be respected and cared for. Plus, removing the cover could get them in trouble.

[@DLBBALL]

They still got rid of them. Their Emperor in this case would probably agree with them.

[@malkrow21]

It says most Japanese troops discarded them because it made too much noise when cycling the bolt. Which is ridiculous because combat makes too much noise, and with all that noise, you're really not going to hear a dust cover. I firmly believe the common Japanese soldier would not have discarded his dust cover.

I’m a bit late to this but another good method of getting multi-kills is running light anti-tank grenades and k-bullets as a scout and running around with some assault blue/greenberries. If you get the final hit it’s a multi-kill 90% of the time, plus you’re helping your team out.

[@rubberwoody]

nothing saying you cant take out the stripper clip first

[@kamata93]

OsamaIs MyMama Well that is wrong. Although it uses Mauset action, if you push the clip with the bolt, it won't feed a round in the chamber. Japanese soldiers were trained to remove the clip and close the bolt then. There are plenty of videos showing this issue. Mausers never had that problem, you can slam the bolt while the clip was there and you are good to go.

[@sharkfinbite]

I don't think they really rattled and made that much noise in the actual war. That is just a myth created from post ww2 guys taking the dust covers off them for various reasons. (Some people tried to use create counterfeit Nazi rifles. I think they sometimes used Japanese rifles as parts to make them. The rifle does share a lot of similarities with the various mausers. (There was one mauser that had a dust cover too. The Japanese inventor improved the concept by letting the dust cover move with the bolt. The previous dust cover mauser model required you to move the dust cover out of the way so you can eject the bullets while firing)) When the dust cover is never removed it is very quite. It is until you have to remove the dust cover and put it back on is when it begins to rattle. I think this leads to the next myth. The Japanese soldiers never removed the dust covers. They left them on. People just think that because again.. so many Japanese ww2 rifles were messed around with where they rattled. That myth was created as a surmise by the post ww2 collectors explaining they were seeing so many loud rattling rifles.

normie The guns are there to make the game more fun because if everyone is running around with bolt guns the game would probably tank. But maybe there was an range of realism that battlefield was going for while providing a unique and fun experience. Who knows? You'd have to ask Dice. I think the emphasis of CQC focused on the melee weapons that they worked so hard to bring a variety to us.

[@michaelkassner2993]

Love the video, but you are wrong about the dust cover. It was apart of the weapon thus property of the Emperor, they wouldnt want to remove to avoid disrespecting the Emperor. It wouldn't have been loud either, the only time it rattles is when you cycle the bolt which is already loud. If youre wondering why a lot of copies dont have it, ethier US servicemen removed it due to the light rattling or they didnt understand its uses fully and captured models used by Indonesia and China lost them over time/heavy use.

[@osamaismymama7907]

Michael Kassner Actually a lot of the dust covers where lost because when disassembling the bolt it is incredibly difficult to put the cover back on properly during a fight so a lot of soldiers basically said screw it

[@rossjones6560]

I've heard a lot of soldiers removed the dust covers regardless, as the rattling noise would've compromised their position. Maybe this was late on (perhaps in WW2) though it's common to find type 38 without covers now for this reason

[@aceradical7517]

Yeah I've read up on this gun from a few sources, quite a lot mention the removal of the bolt cover. (even the type 38's codex entry on bf1 talks about it)

Ross Jones Watch the firing segment for the weapon on C R arsenal video on it, it adds very little extra noise to the action and it didn't rattle as much as some might think.
