Talk:Gate: Thus the JSDF Fought There
.jpg){kind=link}
The hull-mounted machine gun looks more like Browning M1919A4, judging by the perforated barrel shroud. Also all sources claim that Type 73 had hull-mounted M1919. Greg-Z (talk) 04:30, 5 July 2015 (EDT)
- This is correct since the Allied Forces provided that for the JGSDF in its early years. Ominae (talk) 04:44, 5 July 2015 (EDT)
- The Japanese wiki page states the Type 73 APC had M1919A4 during the initial production. They were later replaced with Type 74s in the 80s since they used 7.62x51mm NATO rounds. The ones in the episode does looks like M1919 though...--Wildcards (talk) 04:53, 5 July 2015 (EDT)
- I like to stick to the record (to those unfamiliar with modern Japanese military hardware) that these guys aren't totally retired just yet. So these APCs in the show may have been mobilized from secondary combat units. Ominae (talk) 05:09, 5 July 2015 (EDT)
- I have been reading the manga of this anime, and it seems like they deliberately sent older equipment thru the gate. Type 64 rifles, Type 74 tanks, F4 phantoms with a mix of newer Helos, wheeled vehicles and light armor.--Insertjjs (talk) 11:12, 5 July 2015 (EDT)
- They do deliberately deploy older vehicles to the Special Region, that way, if they can't maintain the Gate and have to evacuate back to Japan quickly, they could just ditch their equipment (since they are obsolete anyways) and just pull the personnel back. As for the Type 64 rifles, another reason it was selected was because the 7.62mm NATO rounds packs a bigger punch against armor wearing Imperial soldiers as well as other thick-skinned ogres and other beasts compare to the Type 89.--Wildcards (talk) 18:59, 5 July 2015 (EDT)
