History
The submachine gun was developed in the mid-1960s on the basis of the design of the American 11.43 mm M3 submachine gun, its folding metal butt has a constructive resemblance to the butt of the Swedish Carl Gustaf M / 45B submachine gun [1] . In 1965, it was adopted by the Japanese armed forces and was produced in two slightly different versions. In total, the Shin Chuo Kogyo K.K. company in Tokyo produced six thousand submachine guns of the “Type 65” and “Type 66” [2] .
Description
The submachine gun uses a free-shutter automation [1] .
A window for ejecting spent cartridges is located on the left and has a hinged dust cover that simultaneously serves as a fuse - with the lid closed, a special protrusion on its inner surface blocks the shutter [1] .
The barrel of the submachine gun is closed by a continuous cylindrical casing that does not have openings for cooling [1] .
