@@JadeWarShitpostif I remember correctly that was the whole premise. The tactic was a whole rifle squad of guys just shooting at the plane would surely bring it down. I don’t think it lasted that long
I am pretty sure those sights weren't made specifically for Anti-Air, but instead as range finders for longer shots. If you understand how bullets, trajectory and overall laws of physics work it would make sense. To shoot further, you need to arc the shots so they can travel further before hitting the ground which is where range finders come in both on old sights and modern scopes.
They're artillery fire shots my dear boy... Not AA. When the drop is past what you'd accurately shoot with the iron sights and needed something longer range.
I wish I still had that rifle. Dad sold it to muster the cash to send me to Philmont scout ranch in 86. Funny how you can forget your middle name but remember the minute details.😂
Would never hit it. That's why they had those huge ringed grid sights on aa machine guns. By the time the bullet got there, the plane would be 50 metres away.
I love how our Japanese friends are commenting about how beautiful and nostalgic the gun is while We're talking about how he almost let his intrusive thought win 💀
I agree that the history of weapons is interesting, but calling the period when Japan oppressed neighboring nations nostalgic was not nice. Nostalgic Meji's fascist empire, I'm sorry but this has to be a joke.
I love how the Japanese really thought that they would be able to shoot planes out of the sky enough so that they actually added AA sites to their bolt action rifle
Elevation sights. It's how you target something at over 400m. This isn't a video game. There is no such thing as aiming high after 100m. In fact, you aim low because of bullet kick up. When the bullet rises in the air and then settles into the trajectory.
I mean...it wasn't a terrible idea. They probably weren't crackshots and didn't hit much of anything, but you have to admire the effort. (Also, most aircraft of WW2 were starting to be made of tougher materials than WW1 aircraft, so you'd have less chance of shooting it down anyhow).

@@brianmclaughlin4419 I've got one with the Chrysanthemum intact, but the rest of the rifle is pretty beat up, it was Bubba'd at some point and has a cut down barrel (no front sight either😒) and stock, the dust guard is missing, the wood was beat to hell and poorly restored with huge amounts of varnish, and the bore is pretty rusted out near the muzzle. It shoots, but with the rusted bore and missing front sight it's about as inaccurate as it can get lol. The rounds are pretty expensive (6.5x50SR is about $55 a box when they're in stock) so I never even bother shooting it but it's still cool to own a piece of history, Bubba'd or not...
The best thing to have in zombie apocalypse is sharp weapon, not firearm. Because again it's useless when you run out of ammo, and zombie can only be killed when shot in the head, multiple shots to the body the zombie still alive and continue to chase you, and nobody would carry tons of ammo by their own while moving from one place to another just to keep surviving when the whole city perfectly crowded by zombies.

@@eloquentsarcasm I have the opportunity to buy one with the intact mum also from Okinawa. It’s also an early version and not the “last ditch”. Think I’m gonna get it, beautiful old guns
I have a Type 38 with the intact mum, and dust cover. Plus it has some weird pitting that basically falls under were the bayonet muzzle ring sits, and drips down so possible blood pitting. Arisakas are interesting guns. Pretty much all the Arisakas in the US were captures, or at least souvenirs taken off piles before they threw the rest in Tokyo bay. I have three bayonets from back when no one have a shit about them, $25 a pop, the most I spent was on the crappy trainer bayonet for $35.
Damn, Translate did you dirty. "I like how the ninety-nine formula is carved plainly," it says. I think what was intended was "I like how the Type ninety-nine is designed so simple." The translator just needs some practice.
It's a shame most Type 38, 44 and 99 rifles are missing their dust covers because American GIs discarded them. No, the Japanese soldiers who served with them did not discard the dust covers. They'd get seriously reprimanded for doing that. And yes, later in the war Japan did simplify their rifles, and one of the first things to go was the dust cover.
Most Japanese soldiers actually did remove the dust cover. It was very noisy. The flimsy monopod also was removed by most Japanese soldiers as well because it's kind of useless.
@@j.peters1222 no they weren't noisy, each rifle had its dust cover specifically fitted to the corresponding rifle. The ones that are noisy are the ones that don't match the rifle.
Yeah, thats definitely one of the most annoying myths surrounding the Type 99. The few that were shipped to the US were shipped with their bolts removed which led to most of the dust covers being lost. Anyone who thinks soldiers are allowed to just "throw away" part of their government-issued weapon is not living in reality. I have owned several Type 99/38 rifles and the dust cover makes no noise unless the weapon's action is being cycled, in which occasion you're shooting anyway which makes quite a racket.
@@watchman0062 the Type 38 is the older variant of the Arisaka that entered service in 1906 and utilized a 6.5X50mm cartridge. The Type 99 was designed as the replacement and produced from 1939-1945 and used a 7.7X58mm cartridge. They both served through the war together.
Saw one of these for sale at an auction one time. The guy selling said "I was in the Marine Corps back in the late 60s. If they had given me this for a weapon, I'd have given it back and tried to use rocks instead."
he probably heard all the myths from GI's trying to fire rounds from trainer rifles and them exploding. The Arisaka's themselves were probably the strongest and most robust standard issue bolt action of ww2.
@@Dulex123Nah, propaganda against anything Japanese made was fairly effective. They taught that Japanese rifles were basically garbage. When in reality, they were some of the strongest bolt actions ever made. And imo, really some of the most pretty.
those wing sights for leading aircraft were one of the smartest things the japanese invented. Not so useful on a rifle, but if you put that on the ladder sight of a machine gun, you might have something. But then air defense was doable with bolt-action rifles through volley fire. Enough soldiers in formation firing together made a pretty good block of lead. Don't know if it was ever actually effective, but in theory it could work.
I can see a few disadvantages with this gun. - The rifle is a bolt-action rifle, which is great if used as a sniper rifle but risky if you were to get caught in a surprise attack where you need to be quick. - The small piece of metal used to load the 5 bullets are only used to line up the 5 rounds but it doesn't also go in the actual gun so losing it would be more time-consuming to manually reload.
The Japanese Arisaka-both in 6.5mm or 7.7mm-is in my opinion the best and most serviceable combat bolt-action rifle ever made for the common infantry soldier, fighting the actual sort of battles that were being fought around the world during the first half of the 20th Century CE.
This is the best rifle demo video I have ever seen, hands down. No whacky commentary, no nonsense. The camerawork, lining up the site, the detailed ammo loading, everything about it is great. If you do the same dor other guns, then you'l be my favorite youtuber.
It's called a Chrysanthemum. It is the symbol of the Emperor. Most engravings were scrathced off before the soldier was capurtured or the weapon discarded as to not dishonor the Emperor.
Ignoring the horrors the Axis government's caused... They had some beautiful craftsmanship. The ergonomic grooves on the back of the safety look amazing and they're functional. Stylings are great too. Huge contrast to walking into IWM and seeing a Sten or a Firefly where we butchered it to suit our needs. 😅
Show me any country or culture ever that hasn’t caused horrors in wartime. We weren’t there, and there’s no telling how many horrors the Allies caused too. Shit was almost a hundred years ago, so it should be as easy to ignore as any other part of history. People should be able to let go enough to look at things objectively by now.
@@Nomans_NomenNobody's perfect in war but that means nobodys perfect in war 🤣🤣🤣🤣 you mainly hear the evils of the opposite side, which to be fair the nazi's were quite, well, cruel, more so than others at the time, though Russia was worse, even the Nazi's hated how bad the Russians were.
@@Nomans_Nomen Unlike allied war crimes none of them even rival any of the axis ones. Japan for one has literally the worst history in the world for committing war crimes.
@@zeroelevens4957 And the countries that comprised the allies? The US annihilated an entire race and culture, and succeeded where hitler failed. They also poisoned their own land in the civil war, killing off their own civilian population en masse, while practicing slavery. Not to mention interring innocent Japanese-Americans, or “Japanese enough” looking Americans into concentration camps as well, or that the US ended Japan’s isolation at cannon point, shaping the Japan to be, exploiting it all the while. The US practically hand-raised imperial Japan, in exchange for a profit. Or, you know, there’s the whole nuclear bomb thing, that almost entirely targeted and annihilated civilian populations. It’s just a matter of how far back you go with any country, and how much a recency bias, or any bias clouds your judgement. Should we talk about the sins Britain has committed? Maybe the treaty of versailles that economically hobbled and indentured Germany to the point where extreme action was their only chance of escape? The allies, along with their descendants, simply perfected the art of fabricating moral superiority and blaming other countries for the consequences of their actions, when the hostility of said countries was created by those consequences. Especially when it comes to countries they were actively exploiting that retaliated. A habit that continues into present day. The victor writes the history, and the most crucial step of that victory is to foster hatred for the desired target, and convincing the masses their hate for that target is justified, when the vast majority of the time it really isn’t. Not without a massive helping of hypocrisy, and ignorance. It is very easy to control the reactions of hatred, as well as the cherry picked perceptions of history used to fuel it. You live in a world built on the graves of those who fell on the receiving end of this tactic.
Not really, bullets haven’t changed much nor has the power of these rifles. I have a 30-06 from world war I and it is fantastic. Very powerful, very accurate. The media tries to tell you modern rifles (assault rifles) are so different and more deadly. That’s just not true. Modern rifles are just favored by COD Players.
still available, however since this bullet is only used in this rifle the bullet is slightly more expensive than most more common bullets of the same power.
My brother in law was given one and it was in his closet for 25 years. He gave it to me. It’s fully intact with all markings and serial numbers all match. I cleaned it and it’s in beautiful condition. The stock is pitted but I oiled it and it looks great. I bought a bayonet in good condition and when it’s attached it is a formidable weapon.

The translator just needs some practice.

日本の銃ってだけで元気が出るんだよなぁ。
It's a shame most Type 38, 44 and 99 rifles are missing their dust covers because American GIs discarded them. No, the Japanese soldiers who served with them did not discard the dust covers. They'd get seriously reprimanded for doing that. And yes, later in the war Japan did simplify their rifles, and one of the first things to go was the dust cover.
Most Japanese soldiers actually did remove the dust cover. It was very noisy. The flimsy monopod also was removed by most Japanese soldiers as well because it's kind of useless.
@@j.peters1222 no they weren't noisy, each rifle had its dust cover specifically fitted to the corresponding rifle. The ones that are noisy are the ones that don't match the rifle.
Yeah, thats definitely one of the most annoying myths surrounding the Type 99. The few that were shipped to the US were shipped with their bolts removed which led to most of the dust covers being lost. Anyone who thinks soldiers are allowed to just "throw away" part of their government-issued weapon is not living in reality. I have owned several Type 99/38 rifles and the dust cover makes no noise unless the weapon's action is being cycled, in which occasion you're shooting anyway which makes quite a racket.
@@Undersea.Glider What is the difference between a type 38 and 99 rifle? Is the type 99 newer and better?
@@watchman0062 the Type 38 is the older variant of the Arisaka that entered service in 1906 and utilized a 6.5X50mm cartridge. The Type 99 was designed as the replacement and produced from 1939-1945 and used a 7.7X58mm cartridge. They both served through the war together.

Reminds me of the old "Bolt-Action Only"-Servers from COD: World at War...
...and now the 30th Birthday comes closer and closer 👴
That is a beautiful rifle.
Saw one of these for sale at an auction one time. The guy selling said "I was in the Marine Corps back in the late 60s. If they had given me this for a weapon, I'd have given it back and tried to use rocks instead."
I would understand that if he wasn't given ammo for it as well.
he probably heard all the myths from GI's trying to fire rounds from trainer rifles and them exploding. The Arisaka's themselves were probably the strongest and most robust standard issue bolt action of ww2.
The prejudice was strong with that one lmao
Probably because ammo was scarce? Arisakas are one of the best bolt actions ever!
@@Dulex123Nah, propaganda against anything Japanese made was fairly effective. They taught that Japanese rifles were basically garbage. When in reality, they were some of the strongest bolt actions ever made.
And imo, really some of the most pretty.
Why i thought he was gonna shoot the plane💀💀💀💀

Beautiful Japanese rifle
those wing sights for leading aircraft were one of the smartest things the japanese invented. Not so useful on a rifle, but if you put that on the ladder sight of a machine gun, you might have something.
But then air defense was doable with bolt-action rifles through volley fire. Enough soldiers in formation firing together made a pretty good block of lead.
Don't know if it was ever actually effective, but in theory it could work.
That is actually an artillery sight for volley fire.
いやぁー嬉しいなぁ
Those are the nicest rounds to ever be in a arisaka.
I can see a few disadvantages with this gun.
- The rifle is a bolt-action rifle, which is great if used as a sniper rifle but risky if you were to get caught in a surprise attack where you need to be quick.
- The small piece of metal used to load the 5 bullets are only used to line up the 5 rounds but it doesn't also go in the actual gun so losing it would be more time-consuming to manually reload.

If there's anyone who possibly doesn't know, those folding arms on the sight are for targeting aircraft. Specifically planes.

For someone who doesn’t talk much, this guy is very good conversation
The Japanese Arisaka-both in 6.5mm or 7.7mm-is in my opinion the best and most serviceable combat bolt-action rifle ever made for the common infantry soldier, fighting the actual sort of battles that were being fought around the world during the first half of the 20th Century CE.

This is the best rifle demo video I have ever seen, hands down. No whacky commentary, no nonsense. The camerawork, lining up the site, the detailed ammo loading, everything about it is great. If you do the same dor other guns, then you'l be my favorite youtuber.
A fine rifle, if it weren’t for the weak ammo it would’ve been one of the world’s best bolt actions.
Uh
7.7 is quite strong, or you're talking about the Type 38, which uses 6.5
THE ENGRAVING ON THE BACK IS SO BEAUTIFUL,like idk why its even there but I ain’t complaining
It's called a Chrysanthemum. It is the symbol of the Emperor. Most engravings were scrathced off before the soldier was capurtured or the weapon discarded as to not dishonor the Emperor.

Inherited my great grandfathers type 99. Ammo is expensive but I don’t care. Best gun I own for the history alone. Thing is extremely accurate too.

I love Arisaka it as the most flattest trajectory than any rifle.
Ignoring the horrors the Axis government's caused... They had some beautiful craftsmanship.
The ergonomic grooves on the back of the safety look amazing and they're functional. Stylings are great too.
Huge contrast to walking into IWM and seeing a Sten or a Firefly where we butchered it to suit our needs. 😅
Show me any country or culture ever that hasn’t caused horrors in wartime.
We weren’t there, and there’s no telling how many horrors the Allies caused too.
Shit was almost a hundred years ago, so it should be as easy to ignore as any other part of history. People should be able to let go enough to look at things objectively by now.
@@Nomans_NomenOur country’s ideologies nowadays aren’t based off of Hitler’s goals. That’s what. Or worshipping a god emperor.
@@Nomans_NomenNobody's perfect in war but that means nobodys perfect in war 🤣🤣🤣🤣 you mainly hear the evils of the opposite side, which to be fair the nazi's were quite, well, cruel, more so than others at the time, though Russia was worse, even the Nazi's hated how bad the Russians were.
@@Nomans_Nomen Unlike allied war crimes none of them even rival any of the axis ones. Japan for one has literally the worst history in the world for committing war crimes.
@@zeroelevens4957 And the countries that comprised the allies?
The US annihilated an entire race and culture, and succeeded where hitler failed. They also poisoned their own land in the civil war, killing off their own civilian population en masse, while practicing slavery. Not to mention interring innocent Japanese-Americans, or “Japanese enough” looking Americans into concentration camps as well, or that the US ended Japan’s isolation at cannon point, shaping the Japan to be, exploiting it all the while. The US practically hand-raised imperial Japan, in exchange for a profit.
Or, you know, there’s the whole nuclear bomb thing, that almost entirely targeted and annihilated civilian populations.
It’s just a matter of how far back you go with any country, and how much a recency bias, or any bias clouds your judgement.
Should we talk about the sins Britain has committed? Maybe the treaty of versailles that economically hobbled and indentured Germany to the point where extreme action was their only chance of escape?
The allies, along with their descendants, simply perfected the art of fabricating moral superiority and blaming other countries for the consequences of their actions, when the hostility of said countries was created by those consequences.
Especially when it comes to countries they were actively exploiting that retaliated.
A habit that continues into present day.
The victor writes the history, and the most crucial step of that victory is to foster hatred for the desired target, and convincing the masses their hate for that target is justified, when the vast majority of the time it really isn’t.
Not without a massive helping of hypocrisy, and ignorance.
It is very easy to control the reactions of hatred, as well as the cherry picked perceptions of history used to fuel it.
You live in a world built on the graves of those who fell on the receiving end of this tactic.
今でも弾が作られてて手に入るのが不思議
Not really, bullets haven’t changed much nor has the power of these rifles. I have a 30-06 from world war I and it is fantastic. Very powerful, very accurate.
The media tries to tell you modern rifles (assault rifles) are so different and more deadly. That’s just not true. Modern rifles are just favored by COD Players.
still available, however since this bullet is only used in this rifle the bullet is slightly more expensive than most more common bullets of the same power.
