In general, the Type 38 Arisaka is almost statistically identical to the SMLE MKIII. The Type 38 Arisaka has the shortest sweet spot of the single-action rifles, excluding the Martini-Henry and the Vetterli-Vitali M1870/87 black powder rifles. Outside of sweet spot ranges, only headshots will one shot kill or if the enemy is fairly wounded. Īs with almost all single-action rifles, the rifles have a certain "sweet spot" where at a certain range will one shot kill to the upper chest, with the Type 38 Arisaka's sweet spot set at 30-62.5 meters. The Type 38 Arisaka is a weapon that was introduced in Battlefield 1: Turning Tides expansion for the Scout class. "Adopted by the Imperial Japanese Army as their standard issue rifle, large numbers of Arisaka rifles were purchased by allies short on arms during WWI, including Britain, France and Russia." The rifle would eventually go on to see action in the Russian Civil War, World War II, and other later conflicts. A dust cover was added because of experiences in the Russo-Japanese War that left rifles inoperable from dust.ĭuring World War I, many Type 38 rifles were bought by nations who faced a shortage of weapons, which included Russia, Great Britain, and France. Nambu reduced the number of parts making up the Type 30's bolt from nine to six and at that same time simplified manufacture and disassembly of the bolt without the need of tools. It was designed by Major Kijirō Nambu who used the Type 30 rifle (an actual rifle designed by Colonel Arisaka Nariakira) as the base for a redesign. The Type 38 rifle (三八式歩兵铳 san-hachi-shiki hoheijū), sometimes referred to as the Arisaka, was a bolt-action rifle used by Imperial Japanese Army in 1905 (the 38th year of the Meiji period, hence "Type 38") and served from then until the end of 1945.
