The Battlefield V Type 99 Arisaka Rifle vs Real Life (4K/60FPS)

Video Game Weapons vs. Real-Life Counterparts playlist:    • Video Game Guns in Real Life (Long Form)   After over 3 months, I've finally finished making this. This video uses my own voice commentary to compare the in-game Type 99 Arisaka to the actual WWII-era Japanese rifle, complete with shooting footage in 4K. I also have included gameplay from the new Solomon Islands update. I have also created accurate Closed Captions in English for anyone who needs them. The Type 99 Arisaka was added to the Battlefield V in the Pacific Update back in October of 2019 and was at the time one of the better recon rifles available. It looks really cool and had great sights, a fast bolt throw, and sounded positively brutal. Despite a few historical and design inaccuracies, the Type 99 in Battlefield is a beautiful representation of the actual Japanese Battle implement. The actual Type 99 was the final iteration in the Arisaka family of rifles. The original "Arisaka" rifle was designed by Arisaka Nariakira and christened the Type 30 rifle. After the Russo-Japanese War the Type 38, designed this time by Nambu Kijiro, replaced the Type 30. The Type 38 and various carbine derivatives soldiered on in the Imperial Japanese Army throughout the next 3 decades, but when when the Japanese invaded mainland China during the Second Sino-Japanese War in the late 19030s they realized that the Type 38 6.5mm bullet struggled the penetrate cover like trees and walls as well as the 8x57mm Mauser rounds Chinese Nationals were using in their own rifles and machine guns. Nambu once again stepped up to the plate and his team designed a rifle chambered for a modified, rimless version of the semi-rimmed 7.7x58mm cartridge that the Japanese had been using in Type 92 machine gun based on the Hotchkiss. The final prototype would be known as the Type 99 and initially The IJA hoped to replaced all older Type 38s with the new 7.7mm design. This goal was never fully realized however, as the Japanese struggled with resupply logistics and resource shortages throughout the entire war. Nevertheless the Type 99 was produced until the very end of WWII, by 1945 in a stripped down "Last Ditch" variant that looked rough but was otherwise perfectly safe to shoot. The Type 99 is remains one of my favorite bolt-action rifles of all-time and I enjoy shooting it quite a bit, though ammunition is incredibly expensive these days. Nevertheless it was a fantastic rifle and was a solid addition to Battlefield V.
