Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Type 99 Rifle (from the Japanese ä¹ ä¹ å¼ å° éŠƒ or ä¹ ä¹ å¼ é·· å° éŠƒã€€Kyuukyuu-shiki shoujuu or Kyuukyuu-shiki choushoujuu) was a bolt-action rifle of the Arisaka design used by the Imperial Japanese Army during World War II. One of the Type 38 rifle''s disadvantages was that the small caliber (6.5x50 mm) bullet it fired was not considered effective enough as an anti-materiel round. The Imperial Japanese Army (IJA) developed the Type 99 based on the Type 38 rifle but with a caliber of 7.7 mm. The Type 99 was produced at nine different arsenals. Seven arsenals were located in Japan, with the other two located at Mukden in China and Jinsen in Korea.
