Howa Type 89-F with scope rail on receiver and Aimpoint CompM2 red dot. This configuration is used by Japanese special forces operators when deployed in places where they face the risk of potential combat.

When the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force (JGSDF) was looking for a new assault rifle to replace the aging Howa Type 64 (7.62x51mm), Howa Machinery Co., of Japan designed and developed the Type 89 Assault rifle, chambered for the 5.56x45mm NATO round. It was much lighter than the Type 64 and was a modern assault rifle comparable to the M4A1, the SIG SG 551, and the Heckler & Koch G36. The Type 89's design resembles the US-designed AR-18 assault rifle, which was manufactured by Howa under license from Armalite (USA). It replaced the Howa Type 64 as the main battle rifle for the JGSDF in 1989, even though the Type 64 is still used in secondary units and Coast Guard units.
