History

The Te-4 is effectively an airborne of the Japanese Type 11 machine gun. However, its story is more complicated than what a first glance may indicate. A copy of the Hotchkiss M1909 Benét-Mércie, the Type 11 was modified from its French progenitor by having a unique hopper feed system. The Type 89 'special' was an airborne double-barrelled variant of the gun however it suffered from excessive weight. The Imperial Japanese Army Air Service decided to replace their Type 89 with the Te-4. It is still unknown if the gun was modified from the Type 11 or single Type 89. Compared to the Type 89, the Te-4 has a different mounting, it lacks the barrel cooling fins from the Type 11, has a short wooden shoulder, an pistol grip with an enlarged trigger guard, and fed by a 70 round pan drum magazine.

Media

Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.
