Rifle Name Change

The official and true name of the weapon is "Type 4 Rifle". Please change it. Source - Japanese Wiki Article. Fukoku Kyohei (talk) 02:14, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

Type 4 and Type 5

I'm not so sure, but a few sources have led me to believe thar Japan had developped both a Type 4 rifle, based off the Pedersen rifle (which were acquired by Japan in few numbers in the 1930s), and a Type 5, the modified copy of the M1 Garand.

Naturally, this could be a bunch of balogna, and I do have many doubts, so if we could clarify this, it'd be nice. SSDGFCTCT9 (talk) 17:42, 25 July 2011 (UTC)

There could have been both at the same time, or two different types of the same rifle. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ant2242 (talk • contribs) 05:14, 9 October 2012 (UTC)

Is it possible there were multiple rifles competing for the designation? Yolo McSwagginz93 (talk) 19:30, 17 July 2016 (UTC)
