The Arisaka Rifle was the official service bolt action rifle for the Imperial Japanese Armed Forces from 1897 to 1945. The First Model of the Arisaka Rifle was designed by Colonel Nariakira Arisaka in 1897. There are five major variants - the Type 30, 35, 38, 44, and the 99. Of all these rifles, the Type 38 long rifle and Type 99 standard (or short) rifles were the most common, and were the rifle most likely to be encountered during the war in the Pacific. The Type 38 was chambered in 6.5x50mmSR, while the Type 99 was chambered in 7.7x58mm.

The early models of the Type 99 long (discontinued after less than 40,000 were made) and standard rifles contained a folding wire monopod, flip up 1,500 meter calibrated ladder sights with fold-down sidebars for leading aircraft, with the hinge of the bar 100 knots, center notch 200 knots, and edge of the bar 300 knots (perhaps the most over-optimistic sight fitted to a smallarm since the 1,000-meter calibrated sights of the Mauser C96), chrome plated bores, and a dust cover. As the war went on the quality had dropped. These late war rifles were known as substitute standard rifles (commonly called "last ditch" rifles) and were very crudely manufactured with most missing the accessories of the earlier models. Later production substitute standard rifles also had a non-adjustable rear sight and wooden buttplate, and some even replaced the sling with a simple rope passed through a hole in the stock and tied around the barrel (commonly called "rope hole" rifles).

Most variants of the Arisaka rifle have at least one hole on the top of the receiver. This hole (or series of holes) serves to ensure that gas vents in a safe direction in the event of a failure. This feature is omitted in most video game models.

There were various sub types, like the 6.5mm Type 97 sniper rifle based off of the Type 38 long rifle (essentially a completely normal Type 38 with a 2.5x sniper scope added), the 7.7mm Type 99 sniper rifle based off of the Type 99 standard or short rifle, or the 6.5mm Type 1 take down paratrooper model converted from Type 38 carbines, but these rifles were rare specialty rifles and only several hundred to several thousand were made of any of these versions.

Related to the Arisaka is the Type I long rifle, a rifle made in Italy for the Japanese Navy that utilized the Carcano action but a magazine, stock, and barrel based on the Type 38 long rifle.

Arisaka Type I - 6.5x50mmSR Arisaka

The rifle can be found under several names. Arisaka Type I, Type I, Type I Carcano and Carcano-Arisaka. The Type I Arisaka (イ式小銃 I-shiki shōjū, pronounced "Type-eye" or "Type-ee"; the "I" stands for "Italy") was an Italo-Japanese bolt-action rifle designed by Fabbrica d'Armi Terni in 1938 and produced by various arsenals in Italy from 1938 to 1939. A foreign version of the Arisaka rifle, the Type I in essence was a version of the Type 38 Arisaka produced in Italy. It is commonly referred to as the "Type 1"; this is a result of misinterpreting the "I" as a Roman numeral for for "1" (or simply a "1" itself), and should not be treated as an actual name for the weapon.

Of note is that several productions between the 1960's and 80's have used the Type 2, often in sporterized form, for the cinematic effect of assembling together a sniper rifle, perhaps most notably in Dirty Harry. Today, original Type 2's command a high price in auctions as one of the rarest WW2 rifles, but back when these sporterizations were carried out, Arisakas in general had little collector value and market worth.
