The Nambu Type 96 and Type 99 were two light machine guns used during World War 2 by the Japanese Army. In 1936, '''Kijiro Nambu''' designed the Type 96 and three years later, in 1939, he modernized it, eliminating all the problems and changing the caliber, which gave us the Type 99. Even though externally it resembled [[ZB vz. 26]] was not a copy of it. He was different internally. The [[Type 97 tank machine gun|Nambu Type 97]] was a true, license-built copy of the [[Zbrojovka Brno]] design.

The Nambu Type 96 was constructed in 1936 and served with the Japanese Army until the end of the war. Due to the weak 6.5x50mm Arisaka cartridge and high reliability, already in 1939 it was replaced with a newer design for a newer cartridge, i.e. the Type 99 that fired the 7.7x58mm Arisaka cartridge. Despite the introduction of a newer model, the Type 96 was not phased out due to the use of the same ammunition as the [[Arisaka Type 38]] rifle which was very common among the infantry. It was produced in the years 1936–1943, in a total number of approximately 41,000 units.

In 1937-1939, Japan developed the new 7.7x58mm HR cartridge to replace the older and weaker 6.5x50mm Arisaka cartridges. The army ordered the creation of a weapon firing this cartridge. Both a bolt-action rifle and a light machine gun. Thanks to this, the [[Arisaka Type 99]] rifle was created based on the [[Arisaka Type 38]] rifle and the Nambu Type 99 based on the '''Nambu Type 96'''. The 7.7x58mm HR cartridge used was too powerful to power the Arisaka Type 99 rifle, so its power was reduced from 3,500 J to 3,000 J and introduced into service as a standard 7.7x58mm Arisaka rifle cartridge. The Type 99 could use both cartridges, but HR cartridges were preferred. The Type 99 never replaced older productions. Although introduced into service in 1939, it served alongside the older [[Type 11 light machine gun]] and Type 96. The Type 99 was produced at Kokura, Nagoya Arsenal and Mukden, with total production of approximately 53,000 weapons.
