Today we have an interview with Duncan McCollum, author of Japanese Rifles of WWII – you may also recognize him from the Japanese weapons episode of Tales of the Gun on the History Channel. Mr McCollum was kind enough to do a brief interview with us and describe the history and some interesting features of an interesting Japanese rifle – the Type 2 paratrooper.
If you are interested in having a copy of his book for your reference collection, you can find it at Amazon.com: Japanese Rifles of World War II

Great Video !!!
Unusual decision to make gun portable for paratroopers… No folding stocks , no shortened barrels, but a takedown rifle ! 🙂
Anti aircraft sights are also interesting.
Thanks !!!
