Tanaka Type99 Short Rifle Black Finish Walnut Stock Black Ver.2 Gas Sniper

The Type 99 rifle or Type 99 short rifle (Kyukyu-shiki tan-shoju) was a bolt-action rifle of the Arisaka design used by the Imperial Japanese Army during World War II, this rifle was designed and produced intended to replace the standard rifle of the time, the Arisaka Type 38 rifle as the Imperial Japanese Army decided that the 7.7mm cartridge is superior to the 6.5x50mm cartridge used in the Arisaka Type 38 rifle.

The Tanaka Works Arisaka Type 99 Gas Airsoft Carbine is a faithful replica of the carbine rifle issued to Japanese troops during World War II. This airsoft rifle is a 1:1 replica of the actual rifle except for the fact that it has a removable 12-round gas magazine and fires 6mm BBs as it even features the iconic Type 99 anti-aircraft rear folding sight. The stock is made of actual wood and the receiver is of metal construction. Although this is a Japanese-made gun that is designed to use HFC134a or duster gas, there are no plastic exterior bits on this rifle.

We here in RedWolf appreciate Tanaka for making airsoft replicas of the Arisaka rifles as most World War 2 era guns available in airsoft are replicas of guns used in the European or African theaters while guns used in the Pacific theater seem to be absent. This rifle would serve well in a reenactment or in World War 2-themed airsoft games or simply as a nice wall hanger.
