G.I. Samurai (戦国自衛隊 Sengoku Jieitai (Time Slip) and Sengoku Self Defense Force?) is a 1979 Japanese adventure movie about a group of Japanese Self Defense Force (JSDF) soldiers suddenly finding themselves stranded 400 years in the past, during the Sengoku period. With their advanced weaponry, the soldiers under their highest-ranking officer, Lt. Yoshiaki Iba's (Shin'ichi Chiba), decide to fight alongside General Nagao Kagetora to assume power over all of Japan; but in the end only one of the soldiers survives.
JGSDF soldiers, including Yoshiaki Iba (Shin'ichi Chiba) and Mimura (Kôji Naka) are seen using the Howa M300 as a sniper rifle during a climax scene in the middle of the film.
The M3A1 Halftrack that the JSDF uses has a Sumitomo M2HB mounted on it. Lt. Yoshiaki Iba (Shin'ichi Chiba) and other JGSDF soldiers fire it throughout the film. Early in the film, Nagao Kagetora (Isao Natsuyagi) also fires it, reacting with amusement at the full automatic fire.
The Mitsubishi J-3 Jeep used by JGSDF soldiers is equipped with a Sumitomo NTK-62 mounted in the rear bed. Lt. Yoshiaki Iba (Shin'ichi Chiba) and other JSDF members fire it throughout the film.
Several JGSDF soldiers (including Lt. Yoshiaki Iba (Shin'ichi Chiba)) use the M3A1 "Grease Gun". The M3A1 was actually standard issue for the JSDF, being popular as a personal defense weapons with tank crews until the introduction of the Minebea M-9.
