S&T Type 96

BAS recommends:
The Type 96 light machine gun was developed in the 1930s from the Czechoslovak vz.26 captured in China. It mainly borrowed the overall concept with top feeding magazine. An interesting element was the possibility of attaching a bayonet. Although the change in caliber and the Japanese 6.5 mm cartridge caused a number of problems, the weapon served throughout the Second World War and proved itself mainly in fortified positions.

The replica produced by the S&T company faithfully adheres to its original. The metal body is worked in detail, including marking. Carrying handle makes it easy to transport. The wooden stock is pleasant to the touch. The metal folding bipod swings to the sides and thanks to this it adapts to uneven terrain. The magazine is mid-cap for 90 rounds. The sights can be adjusted by turning the wheel on the side, similar to how it is on the vz.26.
