You know what's pretty funny , the shooting club that I am member of has a lot of WWII enthusiasts. During Memorial day weekend we had a gun exhibition , a lot of vets were there and i had the pleasure of meeting the father of my one friend who i regularly shoot with. His dad was a WWII vet in the Pacific Theater and showed me an Arisaka Type 99 he kept as a souvenir. Type 99s were the most widely distributed throughout the Imperial Japanese Army and standard issue for Imperial soldiers. What was amazing about the one he had -- was how he kept it polished and even made great lengths to preserve the bayonet that came with it.

I was able to hold it with its bayonet on. Beautiful machine.

My friend's dad said to me, "You know how its pretty funny how i'm talking to you about this. Face to face. There was a time when our people considered each other enemies and fought each other to the death."

I smiled when he said that. He was right.

The type 99 had a lot of the cool gizmos early on. Anti aircraft sights, dust cover, etc.

I never saw a nice on though unfortunately. Only the last ditch ones.
