Type 96 light machine gun
The was a light machine gun used by the Imperial Japanese Army in the interwar period and in World War II.〔Bishop, The Encyclopedia of Weapons of World War II〕
== History and development ==
Combat experience in the Manchurian Incident of 1931 and subsequent actions in Manchuria and northern China reaffirmed the Japanese army of the utility of machine guns to provide covering fire for advancing infantry.〔Meyer, The Rise and Fall of Imperial Japan. pg.53.〕 The earlier Type 11 Light Machine Gun was a lightweight machine gun, which could be easily transportable by an infantry squad into combat. However, the open hopper design of the Type 11 allowed dust and grit to enter into the gun, which was liable to jam in muddy or dirty conditions due to issues with poor dimensional tolerances. This gave the weapon a bad reputation with Japanese troops, and led to calls for its redesign.〔Meyer, The Rise and Fall of Imperial Japan. pg.55〕 The Army’s Kokura Arsenal tested the Czech ZB vz. 26 machine gun, samples of which had been captured from the National Revolutionary Army of the Republic of China, and (after borrowing certain elements) issued a new design, designated the Type 96 light machine gun, in 1936. The gun was produced at Kokura, Nagoya Arsenal and Mukden with total production about 41,000.〔() JapaneseWeapons.net〕 While the Japanese design was completely different internally it did resemble the Vz26 in its basic layout using the top feed magazine and a bipod mount. The type 97 tank gun however was a license built copy of the ZB design and used in the tanks of the Japanese army.
