Talk:To End All Wars

The reason the Japanese officer is using a Webley is because Japanese officers during WWII were required to purchase their own weapons. Given the poor quality of Japanese handguns of the time, many chose to buy foreign weapons. -Anonymous

That is a Japanese Type 26 Revolver not a Webley MoviePropMaster2008 18:52, 6 December 2010 (UTC)

Japanese Type 26 Revolver - 9mm JR

The T-94 aside, Japanese weapons were not really poor quality during WW2, and particularly would not have been considered so by the Japanese. The reason foreign weapons were popular is that the T-14 was quite large and the Baby Nambu was very expensive, so the cheaper foreign-made pocket pistols were popular for senior officers. - Nyles

I didn't mean all Japanese weapons, just Japanese handguns. The Nambu 14 was not well recieved and there was another pistol frequently issued to tank crews (the name escapes me) that was a full on death trap. A moderate amount of pressure on the side of the reciever would discharge the weapon. I watched a documentary on Japanese small arms of WWII a few years back which spoke well of most Japanese weapon designs but heavily criticized their handguns.
