Type 3 Heavy Machine Gun

The Type 3 Heavy Machine Gun, also known as the Taishō 14 Machine Gun, was a Japanese air-cooled heavy machine gun, based on the design of the Hotchkiss M1914. Although the Hotchkiss used 8mm cartridges, from 1914 Japan produced the Type 3 under license from Hotchkiss using the 6.5x50mm Arisaka ammunition

Both the Japanese Army and Navy used they Type 3 machine guns whose design was based on the Hotchkiss during World War II. They used distictive blue tracers rather than the American red.

In 1943, after the second, successful U.S. invasion of Hawaii, Saburo Shindo was reduced to manning such a machine gun after his Zero was ingloriously destroyed on the ground by an American bombing run.
