Designed as a replacement to the problem laden Type 11 machine gun, the Japanese Type 96 provided a welcome upgrade to the old hopper fed design of the Type 11. Based loosely on the design of captured Czech ZB vz.26 rifles, the Type 96 entered production in 1936 and served the Japanese Imperial Army until their defeat in 1945. The S&T Type 96 features full metal construction, real wood furniture, a top feeding magazine and integrated bipod. An accurate replica of one of WWII’s more under rated light machine guns. 

- Beautiful real wood furniture gives this gun an extremely realistic look and feel
- Integrated bipod with locking mechanism
- Integrated carry handle
- Sintered steel gear set and metal gearbox shell; compatible with Ver.2 internal parts
