The Arisaka Rifle
Bill Harriman(Illustrations), Peter Dennis(Illustrations), Alan Gilliland(Illustrations)
Entering service in 1897, the Arisaka family of bolt-action rifles armed
Japanese troops and others through two world wars and many other
conflicts, including the Russo-Japanese War of 1904–05.
Issued
in long and short versions – the latter for cavalry and specialists –
the Type 30 was the first main Arisaka model, arming Imperial Japan's
forces during the Russo-Japanese War, though after the war it was
refined into the Type 38, which would still be in use in 1945. The main
Arisaka rifle of World War II though was the Type 99. Lighter and more
rugged than the US M1903 Springfield rifle it would face in the initial
battles in the Pacific, it was produced in four main variants, including
a sniping model and a take-down parachutist's rifle.
Featuring
full-colour artwork as well as archive and close-up photographs, this
is the absorbing story of the rifles arming Imperial Japan's forces,
from the trenches of Mukden in 1905 to the beaches of Okinawa 40 years
later.
