Yes. Japanese weaponry was severely lacking during the war. Example: the Japanese Nambu pistol had a very inferior make, it had a horrible action and a hard trigger pull making aiming difficult, but that wasn't the only way to make it fire, a quick smack against the side of a vehicle or dropping it would do the trick. The Type 100 Japanese sub machine gun was ab out of date gun, it lacked stopping power since it fired the nambu's 8mm round and was intolerant to dirt and prone to jam. Also there main infantry weaponry consisted of a bolt action rifle, when at the time most forces were using semi-auto rifles, most Japanese weapons were no better than the officers sword which too were made of inferior materials.

∙ 14y agoThe Japanese mainly used the Type 38, 44, 97 and 99 Arisaka bolt-action rifles, but they also had Type 100 submachine guns and another Type 99 weapon, but it was a Light Machine Gun. They also developed an M1 Garand-like semi-automatic rifle, but it never or almost never saw any combat because Japan lost before it was mass-produced.
