	The '''Ho-103''' was a Japanese Army development of the M1921E1, significantly scaled down (roughly halfway between the original and the [[Browning M1919]] in size) and chambered for the same 12.7x81mmSR round as the 12.7mm variant of the Italian [[Breda-SAFAT machine gun]]. The M1921E1 was the air-cooled variant of the M1921, and by the early 1930s (by which point the M1921 had become the M1921A1) they were renamed by Colt to MG 53 and MG 52, respectively. The MG 52 and MG 53 would continue to be Colt's commercial guns through to WWII, parallel to the development of what would become the [[Browning M2\|M2]] for the US military. As such, the Ho-103 was developed from the commercial version of the gun (M1921E1 / MG 53), and not what was at the time a US-military-specific iteration of the design.
