Quote:Japanese weapons equals if not surpasses weapons made by other participants
An interesting statement when you consider that everyone else seems to think Japanese rifles are crap, LMGs not much better, and pistols rather mediocre. Well, it is an ACG article quoting someone who sells that stuff.
On the other hand, the Springfield is still a credible gun among enthusiasts and everyone loves the M1 Garand. I've never heard anyone say anything bad about durability of them, or the British & German equivalents.
Don't forget that the Japanese had the "Bushido Spirit" doctrine for a reason, and went war with the U.S. because they didn't learn from experience or listen to those who knew better.
