This video explains the development process and performance of the sniper rifles used by the Japanese military during World War II, and the battles of Japanese snipers. After the effectiveness of sniping was recognized on the battlefields of World War I, sniper rifles became popular in various countries, and Japan also began developing sniper rifles. Despite the difficulties of developing sniper rifles, which was an unknown field, the Japanese military eventually developed the "Type 97 Sniper Rifle" based on the Type 38 sniper rifle, which was the main rifle at the time, and the "Type 99 Sniper Rifle", which was a sniper rifle specification of the successor Type 99 rifle. These sniper rifles became the main sniper rifles of the Japanese military in World War II, and Japanese snipers became a major threat to the Allied forces on the battlefields of the Pacific.
