The Man in the High Castle (2015)

The Man in the High Castle is a science fiction drama television series that is set in an alternate history where the United States is now occupied by Germany and Japan following their victory over the Allied forces in World War II. The series was based on the Philip K. Dick novel of the same name and is being executive produced by Ridley Scott and Frank Spotnitz (who also executive produced The X-Files). The pilot episode was released on the Amazon Prime streaming service in January of 2015 and a complete season of 10 episodes is scheduled to be released on the service on November 20, 2015.

The following weapons were used in the television series The Man in the High Castle:

Howa Type 64

Some Japanese Imperial Guard troops, as noted by their black uniforms and red and black officer caps, are seen with Howa Type 64 battle rifles as protective security for the crown prince and princess, possibly as a replacement for the Arisaka rifles in IJA service. In the world of The Man in The High Castle, it may be under the name Type 37, referring to the 37th year of Emperor Hirohito's reign, 1962; a convention that was replaced by the year a weapon entered service in the western calendar after Japan lost WWII. It may be chambered in 6.5x50mm Arisaka instead of 7.62x51mm NATO as the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) was never formed in this alternate history. The presence of the Type 64 is slightly anachronistic as the weapon entered service in Showa 39 or 1964, two years after the setting of the novel and show, however it is highly likely due to winning the war and never having to disarm, Japan's weapon industry was allowed to accelerate unchecked. It is possible that these are airsoft replicas made by S&T Armament, a Hong Kong-based airsoft manufacturer as the Type 64 and other post-war weapons are banned from export under Japanese law.
