World War 2 weapon 2 the Japenese Type 100 submachinegun

The Japanese's main submachine gun was the Type 100. Although it was not produced well enough ( only 30,000 were produced) and it's bullet underpowered (8 by 22 Nambu round or about a .380 ACP) it was popular among Japanese troops. It had a 30 round clip and when attached looks like a Sten , which I will make a blog for soon. One paratrooper version had a foldable stock (only 200 were made since the stock was weak.
