NotesThe type 94 was designed replace the type 41 and had many improvements over its predecessor which included, longer barrel, split trail and was lighter. It had better range and could be transported by either twenty men or six pack animals. It took around thirty minutes to break down, but could be re-assembled in under ten minutes. It was used in the same way as the type 41 and widely used and saw action on every front.
