There are Five major variants - the Type 30, 38, 44, 97 and the 99. Of all these rifles, the Type 38 and Type 99 Rifles were the most common and were the rifle most likely to be encountered during the war in the Pacific. There were various sub types, like the 7.7 Sniper or the 6.5 Take Down Paratrooper model, but these rifles were rare specialty rifles and only several hundred were made of any of the rare versions.
