HAD A COMMENT GIVING ME TIPS LET ME KNOW IF THIS IS ANY BETTER THAN OLD VERSION. Designed and built by the Nambu Arms Manufacturing Company, the Type 100 was a robust, if unremarkable, submachine gun that was first delivered to the Imperial Army in 1942. Japan was surprisingly late to introduce the submachine gun to its armed forces.
The Type 100 was a well made gun, but the 8x22mm Nambu round was underpowered, roughly the equivalent to the .380 ACP. Atypically for a submachine gun but typical of Japanese small arms, a bayonet lug was fixed under the barrel.
Despite its shortcomings and complexities, the Type 100 had a high quality chrome plated barrel to aid cleaning and reduce wear. Some models also featured a bipod or a complicated muzzle brake.
[edit] Versions
Three variants of the Type 100 were produced during the course of the war: an early version with bipod and extendable bayonet lug, one with a folding stock for paratroopers (approximately 200 with the folding stock were made as it weakened the weapon's structure in combat situations), and a 1944 version that was greatly simplified in order to hasten production at a time when Japan was being pushed into retreat across the Pacific theatre and demand for submachine guns was at an all time high. #gun #gunner #guns #metal #wood

_________________________Try to delete the random lines, and maybe thicken up the main metal body. Other than that, it will need more work, but most people pick up the rest as they go along. Try downloading and looking at other people's models and trying to figure out how they did what they did. If you need help just message me.7/8/2009
