| Notes | The type 01 was a lighter version of the type 92 and had the same characteristics, except for smaller components. It also had a shorter barrel, which could be changed and had a higher rate of fire. It was like previous models, strip fed with 30 round strips and fired 7.7mm rimless round. It was mounted in the same way as previous machine guns and issued to machine gun companies at battalion level. |
