This Japanese Type 2 Paratrooper rifle represents one of World War II’s most ingenious attempts to solve the paratroopers’ eternal dilemma: how to carry a full-length rifle into combat via parachute.
Developed as a takedown variant of the standard Type 99, this 7.7mm rifle could be disassembled and packed in a jump bag, then rapidly reassembled after landing.
Takedown is extremely simple to break the rifle down into two pieces. All you do is unscrew the D ring screw and from there you are able to separate the two pieces. It is very smooth and an easy process.
