WWII Japanese Field Cleaning for Rifles

In this video we demonstrate how the Japanese would have cleaned their service rifles during the WWII and 2nd Sino-Japanese War period. In this case, we are using a Type 38 carbine to better fit the table and screen.

"This Arisaka rifle is more then a gun but a extension of His Majesty the Emporers will"

[@roright4276]

Japanese draftees were often told that they were the “fingers” of the emperor, while the superiors were the arms and legs.

That is different, I like the wooden guide plug.

[@lichstein7972]

Thanks for this video.
It's amazing how little attention is paid to the maintenance of weapons in most historical videos.

[@VIDEOVISTAVIEW2020]

Ironically, These neglected small important details are the key to a soldiers survival in the battlefield

やはり日本小銃は、何時みても良いものだな。

[@MickCorgi]

Thank you for such detailed gun stripping! You guys keep me amazed. Glory to Hattori Han!🎉

[@PhantomP63]

Another great video, with information rarely found elsewhere on the platform. Thanks for the effort you always put into your work.

[@TEXASREDD76]

Looks like I need a Arisaka now

[@ShutUpBubi]

I need to get my hands on one of these for my Type 38~!

[@brucermarino]

Excellent. Much here I did not know. Thanks!

[@Gritz1124]

Another great video! 👍

[@younggon75]

당시 소총무기 유지보수에대해 자세하게 보여주시네요
대단하십니다

[@sonicimperium]

Very nicely done. 👍🏻

[@alexwest2573]

This is so cool, thanks for making these videos 👍

[@The_Carpetonic_Musketeer]

Good Video!

[@squidgypoppet]

Great video, was it a cost issue why they did not issue a individual cleaning kit?

[@hattorihan7503]

Definitely part of the reason. I cant imagine them manufacturing millions of cleaning kits for each soldier with the desperate state of Japanese wartime industry.

[@tomhenry897]

Army does the same thing today

[@ferenctakacs3138]

Köszönöm! Szép videó lett!😀👍

[@pennydunwell7005]

Cool channel dude

[@HX1997_]

Wow a type 38 carbine.

[@CraigFarmer-n3f]

I have a Type 99 manufactured in 1942-ish. I bought a reproduction cleaning rod on-line to complete the rifle, but I'm not sure how a soldier used it.
1. What is the screw specs at the end? It is not American nor Metric, so hopefully it is a Japanese spec still used, but what?
2. Is the slot at the end of the cleaning rod for patches?
I see that you do not use the thicker slotted end of the rod to run a patch thru the barrel.

[@capcamouflagepatterni6162]

What's the concept behind having 4 cleaning rod extensions but only 1 each of the other accessories?

[@hattorihan7503]

There’s a lack of clarity regarding this but each soldier would ideally have a folding screwdriver, chamber cleaning tool, and jag tip. So with each person having an extension, they could do a simple barrel clean with patches on their own.

@@hattorihan7503 Thank you very much for this great video

[@thutch7622]

[@tomhenry897]

[@KizukoTakamine]

Is that a type 44 rifle?

[@sabriesabrie9971]

Type 38, in video desc

[@kaitai5900]

Type 38 carbine, used by support troops not straight infantry.

[@infantryski11b64]

Back in those days we would just use baby wipes and shaving cream cans. Everything you see here was just for the cameras.

[@dobridjordje]

Damn bruv didn't know you were 100+ WW2 Japanese veteran :o
