The Japanese Type 99 rifle was adopted in 1939 and replaced their Type 38 rifle. Japan had decided the cartridge of the Type 38 rifle needed to be replace by something similar to the cartridge fired in their Light Machine Gun. The Type 99 was based on the Type 38 rifle but chambered in the cartridge. Its replacement of the Type 38 rifle was not fully realized before the end of WWII. Initially equipped with Anti-Aircraft sights and a monopod, these and other features were removed and the design was repeatedly simplified for speed of manufacturing and availability of resources as the war progressed.
