The Chinese Type 50 submachine gun is a PPSh-41 variant produced in Manchuria, notably at Factory 626 in Bai'an, known as 'Gun City'. Production surged during the Korean War, with a shift from noisy drum magazines to more practical 35-round box magazines. Key differences from the Soviet PPSh-41 include two-position flip aperture sights and a rubber recoil buffer.
The Japanese Type 11 LMG, developed post-WWI, featured a unique hopper feed system designed to accept standard 6.5x50mm Arisaka stripper clips. Despite its innovative approach to ammunition supply, the open hopper design and requirement for oiled cartridges made it vulnerable to dirt and debris. The weapon saw extensive service throughout the Pacific theater.
