Katana are the best Japanese weapon

>Type 99 Arisaka bolt-action
You. I like you.

Also, Type 97 Sniper is beautiful too. Not as practical as Type 99, but it's still nice.

No, I'm a British 19th century weapon otaku. I'd buy a Japanese marked Snider Enfield, though.

>>11247810
Was going to say this, along with the Type 100 Submachine gun.

/jpk/ is a fun place.

What about modern Japanese firearms? The only one I know anything about is the Howa Type 89. It seems okay, but not good enough to justify the 3,500 USD price tag per unit. I do like the idea of an integrated bipod though.

Did you know the japs invaded Alaska?
There should be a game about that.
America destroyed them of course but we just let them stay for like 2 years.

>>11247966
Yes, but I don't think it would be too fun of a game, unless maybe it was a strategy one where you can change where and how you attacked.

There was only one land battle, they left the other island before US/Canadian troops got there. Though they didn't reclaim the other island so easily...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Cottage

>>11248001
>The Japanese, however, had secretly abandoned the island two weeks prior, and so the Allied landings were unopposed. Despite this, Allied forces suffered well over 200 casualties during the operation
lol

>>11248019
too cold?
you'd think with all that fat the americans would have enough insulation

>>11248024
About half from friendly fire, half from booby traps. You can read about it in the link.

>>11247704
I'm with you on that one OP. Apart from that I like the naginata and the katana, even if they're usually overrated so hard it hurts to mention them seriously.

I'll get an Arisaka eventually. Any tips on what to look for?

>>11248029
no thanks
i like to write my own history

Katana

I thought I had a picture, but I must have lost them.

Seppuku is my favorite Japanese weapon.

More US soldiers died from trenchfoot and hypothermia than nips in the Alaska campaign.

>>11248118
Go suck that tiny jap dick some more.

Oh boy! Is this one of those threads where we get to fight WW2 all over again?

Can I be Italy?

I personally like the shirasaya wakizashi used by kunoichis

>>11248029

How do you do friendly fire when there aren't even any enemies?

>>11248266
By being very tense or just wanting to get rid of some people?

>>11248266
Americans like to shoot each other for some reason. The murder rate there from guns is appalling.

>>11248270
Exactly. They called it fragging.

>>11247704
Ainu me.

If anyone is interested more in the Ainu swords than please let me know and I can post some more.

>>11248266
When it's too quiet, it usually means ambush.

When it's ambush, it means being very jumpy.

When you're jumpy, it means you might shoot before asking questions.

Unintentional psychological warfare tactics of leaving a place that should be fortified completely deserted leading to some of the opposition getting into accidents, I guess.

>>11248266

America fights all threats, friendly and foreign.

>>11248266
There's their philosophy of shoot first, ask questions later.

Also the retarded mentality of just shooting towards the general direction of gun shots, although japanese and american weapons of WWII clearly sounded different,

For example the M1 Garand had an distinctive ring when you go through it's clip, while the japanese had bolt action Arisakas

>>11248266

Because everyone in WW2 was on drugs.

This is what happens when countries think it's a good idea to load up all of their soldiers on amphetamines. It turns all of your soldiers into wannabe Rambos with terrible paranoia.

>>11248269
It's relatively low if you consider the population/diversity as well as the availability of firearms.

>>11248285

Why is that weapon in shackles?

There are some things we like in the USA and when we like something we like it in large quantities and as big as possible

Guns
Killing
Burgers
Tits
Cars

>>11248287
Because it's shit, probably.

>>11248273
Woops forgot pic

>>11248287

Because Japan isn't a free country.

Politicians shoot off guns in public in the land of the free.

>>11248295
That's really pretty. Please post more.

I was reading about Ainu swords, dogs and rituals months ago as preparation for my novel.

>>11248301
I thought you weren't supposed to fire bullets into the air.

>>11248324
You really aren't.

>>11248324

In America, we don't care where the bullets land.

>>11248324

Every 4th of July my family fires off their guns in the air and we shoot the old civil war cannon that was passed down through generations of my kin. Nobody has ever gotten hurt from it yet.

>>11248333
Oh we care alright. That's why we get nuts trying to ban everything whenever an incident occurs.

>>11248324
People shoot at the underside of airplanes all the time, they check them after landing to dig the bullets out.

>>11248341

>That's why we get nuts trying to ban everything whenever an incident occurs.

That's just the Communists that disguise themselves as Democrats. Real Americans don't care.

>>11248330
I hope that guy got defeated, he doesn't seem like an intelligent chap

Also negative freedoms are overrated and the constitution has been consistently raped and warped since it was first written.

>>11248344
What are you talking about, actual revolutionary communists, libcommers, and maoists love firearms.

Because how the hell are we going to overthrow the corrupt wall street gang of parasitic bankers if the most we have are kitchen knives and fertilizer bombs? The only people that want to ban guns are pussy footed liberals and social democrats.

It's threads like these that remind me why I love the USA so much.

So fucking much

>>11248339
Even though its irresponsible gun ownership?

>>11248342
Bullshit. Stop lying to these poor shut-ins.

I did lol after reading that, I will admint

>>11248362
I love Americans, I just want them to stay on their side of the border. Just buy your oil and go back home, don't shit your boring TV shows and horrible music all over my country

>>11248308
I am trying to save up for one of the most expensive books on the market about the Ainu. I'll post that after this one.

>>11248375
>>11248373
yanks leave pls
we love you but you are not ready yet to match the superiority of Anglo-Irish imperial culture

Here is the book of the Ainu. Very expensive. It's sure to show many swords.

>>11248387
I'll be waiting. Thank you for taking the time to share.

>>11248400
Damn. Forgot image again.

>>11248403
You're right, it's pricey. I'll see if I can find a digital copy of it tomorrow, but so far I didn't have any luck.

>>11248396

I'm not overly found of the USA USA USA crowd either, but it is silly to try to keep them away from /jp/

again, found a B/W 5 pages excerpt. It seems good, but the person who gave it a one star rating on Amazon was spot on, in regards to it being a collection of articles.

>>11248339
Where would you even get a license for owning/shooting an old civil war cannon.
Or rather, why do you still have ammunition for that.

>>11248575

>license

Rural places are the free areas of America. Out here nobody cares about things like licenses, building permits, etc. You just make what you want and shoot what you want.

As for ammunition though, you can buy cannon balls for about 10-20 dollars. Nothing special about them, non-explosive cannon balls are just big iron balls.

>>11248713
They're also all full of dumb farmers living on government subsidies, religious hicks on welfare and social assistance, and so on.

For people who like freedom you rednecks get quite a bit of money from the gubmint.

>>11248732

Free money is a form of freedom.

>revolutionary communists
I'm a member of the revolution.

>>11248361

>revolutionary communists

Violent revolution is only how communism works in small third world countries where a bunch of guerrillas with soviet weapons can overthrow the government. It's different when targeting first world countries though.

Rather than a military uprising or invasion, the focus is based on cultural destruction. Marxism invades the non-communist nation, decimates the nation's culture through various counter-culture groups, and then after a few decades it will have gained enough mainstream power that it occupies many positions of power in the country.

This is what happened after the 1960s when the old left collapsed and the hippies, feminists, and other types of communist scum grew up and took over and formed the new left.

The modern day American Democratic party has the end goal of eventually turning the U.S into a communist nation. It's been thoroughly infiltrated and corrupted by communists for decades now.

>>11248500
Damn those are some shitty images they gathered. How about all of us team up and write a better book on the Ainu? If not than I'll write one with nice big colorful pictures. In the front I'll put this in my acknowledgments of the first page
"This book is dedicated to /jp/ - Otaku Culture [Japan General]. In all the years spent together through a tight nit community your inspiration never ceases in our mutual interests of otakudom."

Not really a matter of if I do it now. I'm going to write a book on it in my life time and a better one than any other seen in English Literature. It will have an entire section on Ainu weapons.

>>11248867
It could be a fun project, but we should find a way to contact Ainu or people directly connected to them if we're aiming for accuracy. I got in touch with a Japanese newspaper once because of an article when I was gathering material for the novel, but the clue they gave me wasn't enough to find the reporter who seems to have retired... Do you have anyone in mindn

>>11248906
Right, I agree. I think I could apply for a research grant. There isn't a whole lot for a good solid body of work on the Ainu, so I think both the Japanese government and American government would give me one. I think the chances for receiving one is high due to little material. I'm learning Japanese, so a trip to Japan is going to happen more than once. I go next summer as well. Too bad there are only like 5 - 10 Ainu in Tokyo alone. Headed to Tokyo.

>>11248936
The grant idea is great. Even if you're headed to Tokyo and can't find many pure Ainu, it still can be done if you can find people with family connections to the Ainu that can hook you up... As long as the data is reliable, it's all good. I'll look into gathering books and papers already published, as we can use them for cross-reference and to scout for possible collaborators who experienced their culture firsthand. Do you want to work with GoogleDocs/Drive or something similar?

>>11248983
Do you want to give me your email or something? Idk. I'll have to set one up here.

>>11249009
I'd rather not use my e-mail here, and I set up a document but I cant seem to be able to give it a public-link from my tablet so I'll have to do it from my PC in the morning.

the arisaka has an incredibly strong action, I've heard of hand loaders shooting rounds overcharged to twice the pressure with no ill effects.

>>11249102
Okay. Sounds good.

>>11249157
I don't believe it.

>>11249227
Its like a little slice of history

I felt this would be a little awkward to ask in the fumo general and I rarely see /jpk/ threads.

If anyone has any fumo/otaku stuff and gun pics I would appreciate it to add to my little collection.

>>11249271
I've only got figs, unfortunately. Plus at the moment I only have a Mosin-Nagant, though I have a PTR-91 in the mail. Should be here in a few days.

>>11249271
I got most of them from that irc booru, but unfortunately they're not around anymore ;_;

I regret not saving more that just the gun ones.

>>11249271
is that a nerf gun

>>11249271
>>11249290
I have no guns...
Feels bad man. How old are you guts and what kind of jobs do you have to buy this shit? Out of Uni jobs? Tell me. I'm desperate. On top of that do you live separate from your parent's? I mean to go out and get a license and proper training is a lot of free time.
>>11247704
I wonder what my Japanese waifu is carrying here.

>>11249303
Yes it appears to be a nerf gun behind the real one.

These appear to be airsoft but it was very cute so I kept it.

>>11248732
>free money
you meaned returned taxes.

Taxation is theft.

>>11249311
they are not mine, just pics of others I have saved. I live seperate from my parents now but when I was 17 and living with my family I bought my Mosin Nagant rifle for $100. Like all hobbies, firearms have widely varying levels of cost, but it definitely gets expensive the more you have and shoot.

>>11247704
If your answer is not super space battle ship ya ma mo to then you lack in japanese spirit.

>>11249335
Did you take any classes on how to handle the guns and take care of them, like cleaning it?: I mean I am somewhere where guns are readily available, but I don't feel comfortable buying one until I am confident in knowing how to handle one. On top of that I have no where to store them.

>>11249346
>take classes
Youtube guides and books
Why would you pay for classes or information

>>11249311
I had a job during/right out of high school. Thanks to living in a free state I didn't have to get a license. I never received any professional training, just mostly from my father. Aiming at and hitting a target is pretty easy and I don't think really requires training other than practice, though you may want to look up a bit on gun safety and firing stances and whatnot.

>>11249346
Just look up cleaning guides on YouTube, they're usually pretty good.

>>11249335
For example, a ruger 10/22, which is a very popular and highly recommended rifle for beginners, is $150-200. Ammo for it is also cheap compared to other calibers. On the other side though, custom made firearms with high quality scopes and accessories can run in the thousands.

>>11249346

As for the license, that depends on your state or city laws. Training is always a good idea, having someone experienced with you or watching some channels on youtube can teach you safe handling.
Of the top of my head iraqveteran88 or nutnfancy(inb4 /k/ hate) have some videos on basic firearms safety.
this is the weapons board stick on safety.

>>11249371
Where is page two?

I can't have gun here because freedom hating state.

While this belongs on >>>/k/
I do like the Arisaka, wakizashi, and bo staff.
I own the rifle and staff, and hopefully the sword soon.
The good ones are just so expensive.

Modern Japanese-designed tanks. South Korea's and China's are better.

Are there any cheap but sturdy and reliable bolt action rifle that I could buy for less than 500 dollars?

I want to buy my first gun, but I don't like how those new rifles look. I want to stick with the basics and go with a bolt action.

>>11251426
M9130 Mosin Nagant, of course. I believe /k/ has a buyer's guide for it so check that first.

But yeah, $150, fun, reliable, and it comes with a bayonet.

>>11251443
>fun
Yeah, if you've never fired a half-decent firearm in your life. I could never get over how difficult and jerky the action was, and how disgusting the ammunition was. I guess it was a good weapon in 1896, but I could spend 150 dollars on cosplay or something way more useful.

>>11248001
>>11248019
>Both US and Canadian forces mistook each other as Japanese and as a result friendly fire incidents killed 28 Americans and 4 Canadians and wounded 50 more.
Gee thanks Canada
faggots

>>11251464
I have no idea what you're talking about. I have more fun shooting that than most modern guns. They come in varying conditions, perhaps you had a bad one. Mine is really smooth.

Post sexy Howa rifles, please

>>11248280
What if a sneaky Jap stole an M1?

>>11250189
Just lwtting you know I am in the car right now, so I can get to this in about an hour.

>>11251464
I speak as someone who owns and has shot many guns in my time. Many of those firearms were of very high quality.

I own a few bolt actions of good quality, much smoother and objectively nicer to shoot compared to the 91/30 and variants.

The hard bolt throw can be worked on by TLC and some polishing, but it's also a bit of the charm of that rifle. It's fun to slap that bolt open when firing cheap as dirt ammo as fast as you can load stripper clips into the mag. It's fun to smell the acrid, 60 year old corrosive surplus smoke as you send big old thirty caliber bullets down range.

It's fun to shoot it because it's a cheap, rough, and tough. It's like how in some cases, you don't want to have a slow, sensual fap. Sometimes, you just want to skip any lube you might normally use and beat your dick raw.

>>11251654
>skip any lube

Sorry, I never need to use lube because I'm not a Jew.

>>11251669
No you just don't use lube because you're too much of a jew to buy it.

>>11251669
I am also uncut and not a jew, but I was trying to make a metaphor. Perhaps I should have included a reference to an onahole or another sex toy that usually requires a bit of lube.

I'm sad to admit that I have no firearms manufactured in Japan. I've shot a few rifles made in Japan, and I own a scope made in Japan.

I'm trying to find a picture of my friend's Howa rifle. In the meantime, here's my rifle, built on a Savage action, with the Sightron SIII 8-32x56 LRMOA. It's a very good scope for longer distance shooting.

Here we are. Howa in .308 Winchester with a laminate stock. At the time, it had a Falcon 4-14FFP, that was decent for the money.

Could /jp/ teach me

>>11251443
Get two one to keep original one for the Archangel stock.

>>11251707
Here's another picture of the Howa, notice the thumbhole stock. The Falcon was changed for a Bushnell, I'm not sure what kind of optic it has on it now. Knowing the owner, probably a half decent Vortex.

>>11251714
What would you like to know?

Bolt action is pointless for anything beside range shooting.
Are you really ever going to encounter a situation where a slow firing long range accurate rifle is more effective against the niggs than a semi auto rifle? The niggs arent going to build trenches in front of your house and wait for you to pop out.

>>11251733
How do you do that? How do you pull off doublethink so well?

>>11251733
Muh Dik. you shot it!

Watching anime made me want to buy a gun, but I know I would end up shooting myself in the head if I got one.

>>11251771
After I got guns, I keep thinking about how I would probably kill myself if they were taken away. It's a bit of a strange reversal of your situation, I guess.

>>11251638
Alright, I was getting ready to resume searching for stuff.

>>11251771
Would you yell out "PERSONA" when you did it?

>>11251786
You know PERSONA is a reference to JoJo, right?

>>11251793
You know they are both shit, right?

>>11251793
Nope, don't particularly care anyways weeb.

I never really got the gun laws.

The way I see it. If we successfully get guns taken away and have effectively rid ourselves of civilians owning guns it would literally do shit all.

One way or another people will find out guns arent the only things that can kill people.

If guns get taken away it will just be replaces with swords and knives again and what then? Have knives and swords be outlawed?

Then people will just used bludgeons or fucking rocks. There is literally endless possibilities that one could use to kill someone with.

Taking away guns wont do shit if there are still people in the world still willing (and able) to kill other people.

It is the inherent evil in man's heart that needs to be taken away

Are WW2 era German rifles as easy to get as the Russian rifles?

Those Russian rifles are inexpensive, but I don't want to use a filthy Soviet rifle that may have been used to kill German soldiers. I would like to use a gun that killed Soviets though.

>>11251814
How about quite being a fucking puss puss little cunt bitch shit and just get the soviet gun or both.

>>11251814
Good quality, good condition 8mm Mauser bolt actions are relatively easy to find. The Yugo M48 isn't a bad example, should sell for around 400 bucks.

>>11251725
Don't forget one for the Cossack bullpup stock.
