Early Japanese light machine gun. The design was inspired by the Madsen LMG which was first used against them during the Russo-Japanese War. Which can be seen on the general shape though the design is quite unique.
It has a peculiar feeding system that is comparable to a modern squad automatic weapon. Since it can be loaded with the clips of ammo for the rifle every rifleman carries, which is similar to how a SAW type machine gun is compatible with the magazines used in the rifles of the by the rest of the squad. Though five round stripper clips provide relatively little ammunition to a machine gun and it's hopper design lets dirt in leading to malfunctions.
