  • Chinese wall gun, also known as a rampart gun, normally used from within fortifications. Older versions were smooth-bore muzzle-loaders, with a very low rate of fire; but from about 1890 onwards, these were built as bolt-action single-shot rifles, closely modeled on Mauser military rifles. While not designed as anti-tank guns, many tanks of the Thirties would be vulnerable to these weapons. There were also versions in 0.75", 1" and other rare calibers; they're usually about 6' or 7' long. Some have trunions or other provisions for mounting on a pedestal or swivel. Sights are graduated out to about 2000 yards; it fires a simple 1.25 ounce lead bullet from a black-powder filled cartridge case. Armor penetration unknown, but probably only about 8 or 9 millimeters with the usual bullet.

  • Danish select-fire weapon, issued with mountings for anti-tank, anti-aircraft, armored vehicles, motorcyle sidecars, small ships, and aircraft. Empty 20 round drums weigh 9 pounds, carried by assistant gunners two per wicker case (with 1 strap). Empty 60 round drum weighs 31 pounds, carried by assistant gunner in a wicker backpack (with pack straps). A small limber can be supplied, carrying 180 rounds; horse-pack saddles can also be provided, to carry the gun, mount, and 120 rounds per horse. Ammunition includes HE, AP, APHE, with and without tracers; complete rounds weigh about 0.6 lbs each. In use by the Chinese, Danish, Irish, and Finnish militaries. There is a 23x106mm version, with twice the amount of explosive in the HE shell, but a bit lower velocity; this version was only used experimentally in Argentina and in two Hawk 75 aircraft purchased by the Nationalist Chinese.

  • Japanese semi-automatic rifle, 7' long; equipped with a bipod, hydraulically-compensated rear monopod/spade, bayonet and detachable armor shield (6mm armor, 14 points; the 40 lb weight of the shield is not included in the weight figure for the weapon). Loaded magazines weigh 8 lbs; cartridges weigh just over 11 ounces each. Even with the weight, recoil spade, and muzzle brake, burst fire is probably not very accurate! Only 400 will be built. 30mm penetration in armor at 350 m with original AP ammo; HE round does 5d6 with 2 yard damage radius.
