Description
Very weak, low-calibre machine gun primarily fulfilling support role. Even when used in pair it's an impotent weapon, most of it's value is in a psychological effect, as player will constantly see shrapnel from hits, markers from inflicted damage and clearly visible bullets hitting the vessel. Even if the unit is not destroyed, often it's enough to deter opponents from continuing attack.

- Low damage
- Only tracer bullets
History
Type 38 machine gun (三八式機関銃) was introduced in 1905 for the Imperial Japanese Army. It was licensed-built variant of an imported Hotchkiss M1900 (Mitrailleuse Hotchkiss modèle 1900, which itself was adopted into IJA service in low numbers as the Type Ho).
Weapon saw combat use in the Siege of Tsingtao and further up till the 1940, including the China Incident, as a second-line weapon. In front-line use it was replaced by the 6.5mm Type 3 heavy machine gun (三年式機関銃) introduced in 1914.
An empty machine gun without tripod had a mass of 28kg and a total length of 1.4m. It was fed by 30 round brass strips, much like it's Hotchkiss predecessor, with a maximum firing rate of 450 rounds per minute. Maximum range was 4000m, with an effective range of 2000m.
Media
An excellent addition to the article would be a video guide, as well as screenshots from the game and photos.
