>>4059717I'm tired of you two arguing. He is right , and you are dead wrong. Here. This is the type 11 . No other piece of technology on the fucking planet looks or operates like this machine gun. It feeds ammunition from a hopper and no other mass produced firearm ever did that. The Japanese type 99 machine gun is based of the type 96 which debuted the same year or earlier as the bren gun with its unique top loading magazine. The nambu stylistically may have had inspiration by other designs including the p08 which Japan was aware of. But they are different mechanically, and the nambu had several generations with different aesthetics, the comparison is somewhat cherry picked, many nambus had a unique large trigger guard for cold weather. Japan invented so many things like the type 11. But you are, well, ignorant. Japanese theater holds up amazingly well after 1000 years. Japan has more festivals and holidays than any country on earth. Japan has more soul in that regard than your stuffy , boring, autistic germans. As for the anon who was talking about Germans inventing automobiles, the French invented as much or more than the germans did . Smokeless powder, turreted tanks, PHOTOGRAPHY, pioneering sound recording outside of Edison, literally every art movement of the 20th century, the bikini ,lizard pattern tiger stripe camouflage that kickstarted America and the west fully integrating camouflage patterns in uniforms, ect. The list goes on.
