This video from C&Rsenal's Primer series delves into the history, function, and live-fire demonstration of the Japanese "Arisaka" Type 30 rifle. The documentary provides a historical overview of this firearm, particularly within the context of World War I, and is presented by Othais and Mae. The content is supported by external resources for ammunition data, animations, and further reading on related historical firearms and conflicts.
The Arisaka Type 30, the first iteration of the Arisaka rifle, weighs 8.7 lbs and measures 50 inches. It incorporates design elements from the Mauser 93, Gewehr 88 bolt, and Schmidt-Rubin safety, feeding 6.5mm rounds via stripper clips. While its action is smooth, extraction can be weak, and the rifle is susceptible to fouling, though recoil is surprisingly light.
