He mostly talks about Japanese “human bullet” squads equipped with Molotov cocktails taking on Zhukov’s armored forces. Very few examples of the gun survive today in either private hands or museums, almost certainly due to its bulk and great weight.We have a couple more ammunition-related documents today, both in English this time (and courtesy of reader Robert). I don’t believe that he mentions this gun.
In past times, I have lived and worked in similar conditions and understand perfectly what it entails.
While designed only for semiautomatic fire, there are reports of guns firing fully automatic.
They’re very similar in some regards.There is page in existence on this sort of devices: It goes quite a bit into depth.
Experienced US troops knew they had to continue their advance when fired on by Japanese snipers in order to get closer and spot the sniper. Muzzle velocity was phenomenal – up to 1,400m/s. Chambered for a newly developed 13mm round, the T-Gewehr was a capable and effective battlefield rifle, and further development of this line of weapons was a reasonable solution at the time.From this prewar “arms race” came a number of competing designs, amongst them the Polish Wz-35, the German PzB 38, the Chambered for the powerful 20x124mm cartridge, the Type 97 is a magazine fed, gas-operated weapon that fires from an open bolt. There is, however, another potential reason for this misunderstanding: the Type 97 was later modified to act as an aircraft gun, which involved automatic firing as well as bigger magazines and other changes. I learned a lot just by reading the accounts and comments. While there are plenty of open bolt guns in military service, most of them are fully automatic, unlike the Type 97. This was accomplished using a rear peep sight and a blade front sight.

Please consider It uses a seven- round removable box magazine mounted above the receiver.
I’m glad this isn’t one of them.Just wondering why the Type 97 is never compared to the Finnish Lahti L-39 anti tank rifle. The Type 97 heavy tank machine gun was the standard machine gun used in Japanese armored vehicles during World War II.
The same holds true today.So it fires from an open bolt? From my own research into this, there is no doubt that the AT gun was designed to be semi-auto only. The barrel, which could be removed for long distance transport, was locked to the receiver using an interrupted thread mechanism.Once the gun had been carried to its destination, the crew would adjust the three legs and lower the weapon into its firing position.
It was on display at the Auckland Memorial War Museum for many years.Why, of course – since the weapon’s name actually translates to “Type 97 Automatic Cannon” (九七式自動砲), I’d say that’s an apt description.Would like to have some good pictures of the Solothurn AT Rifles?I do have a comment on the “automatic” feature.
Recalling the lessons of the First World War, nations around the world each began their own program to design and perfect a man-portable anti-tank weapon. You’ve reminded me of what was in some of Peter Kekkenon’s writings, where he described some of the uses which the Finns found for the 20mm Lahti cannon, in the three wars they fought within WWii.Even if the brute couldn’t be relied upon to penetrate a tank’s armour, well aimed shots could break a track pin, or damage a sprocket, then with the tank either stationary or slewing in circles, further shots could stake the turret from rotating and stake the gun from elevating.
The controlling metaphor for the Japanese approach to the conflict was the hydrogen filled observation balloon which the Japanese employed… with predictable results.More I read parts of history of Sino-Japanese and later US-Japanese conflict, I have more and more appreciation of capability of Japanese Imperial soldiers.
So, not surprising that there was confusion about this!I see you don’t monetize your site, don’t waste your traffic,I have checked your page and i’ve found some duplicate content,Very quickly this website will be famous amid all blogging viewers, dueHello, all is going sound here and ofcourse every one is sharing facts,You tube Mark Felton Productions April 7,2020 “Paratroop Kamikazes-Leyte 1944 at 8:14-8:15 has the Japanese type 97 20mm automatic cannon anti tank rifle being carried by paratroopers.Enter your email address to receive notifications of new posts by email.Enjoy what you read on Forgotten Weapons? This is somewhat surprising given the fact that wartime American testing demonstrated that the projectile could pierce about 30mm of armor at 250 meters range.When one also considers the complexity of the gun and the difficulty of manufacture, it isn’t surprising that production of the gun was terminated in 1941 after some 1100 had been completed. I also had not realized that Chris Bailey was “Nirvana” until now. The photographs of the Type 97 in its field-stripped condition seem to clearly bear this out.As for the advantage of a bazooka type weapon of this gun – the effective range of a bazooka was up to 150 yards, this probably could take out a half track or similar lightly armored vehicle at 4 times the range, making its use less of a suicide mission.The illustration of the GI tool kit (pg “1273”) was printed facing towards the outward edge of the page, so the photo shows the text and contents upsidedown. Thanks so much for your contributions, Chris!One of these was captured by the New Zealand Divison in the Soloman Islands in one of the battles from August to November 1943. Why’s that?
First seeing combat against the Red Army at the Battles of Khalkhin Gol in 1939, the Type 97 proved to be a disappointment to the Japanese military, with its 20mm round performing poorly against Soviet BT series tanks.
