NotesThe Type 92 was developed to take on the role that was normally done by the type 11 infantry gun and type 11 infantry mortar and this resulted in one weapon with one size of ammunition. Issued at two per Infantry Battalion, the Type 92 saw widespread service, and due to its light weight, could be moved over rough terrain and brought to bear quite easily.
