The Arisaka Type 44 Carbine, a variant of the Type 38, was designed for cavalry with a unique integrated spike bayonet to reduce clutter. It shares the 6.5mm caliber and action with the Type 38 but features an angled front sling swivel for easier transport. Despite a sticky bolt on this example, the rifle demonstrated excellent gas mitigation and tight groupings.

The Type 38 carbine offered a compact alternative to the long rifle for cavalry and special troops, while the Type 44 introduced an innovative folding bayonet for mounted troops.
