The Type 18 Murata, Japan's second domestic military rifle, was produced in 1885 (Meiji 18th year) with tooling assistance from Winchester. It features a unique cock-on-opening bolt action powered by a V-spring, a departure from common coil springs. Chambered in 11x60mm rimmed Murata, it fired a heavy projectile at 1500 fps, typical for mid-1880s black powder military cartridges. Markings, including a defaced Imperial Chrysanthemum, indicate its service history and eventual removal from official Imperial use.
