Rifles

Lee-Enfield No.4 Mk.I

While an Arisaka would be the best fitting rifle for Kamasuka (John Fujioka), a Japanese soldier who continues to fight thirty-five years after the war, he uses several Lee-Enfield No.4 Mk.I rifles. One of them Kamasuka carried himself, and several others he uses as "remotely controlled".

Alan and Charlie use a war-time Japanese tank to attack the fortress. The tank is a specially made self-moving mockup that doesn't fit any real vehicle but is a generic representation of a light tank.
