- The T-94 aside, Japanese weapons were not really poor quality during WW2, and particularly would not have been considered so by the Japanese. The reason foreign weapons were popular is that the T-14 was quite large and the Baby Nambu was very expensive, so the cheaper foreign-made pocket pistols were popular for senior officers. - Nyles
