Because Japan had adopted the 7.7 mm Type 99 Rifle an accompanying 7.7 mm light machine gun was also developed. The Type 99 was the basically same design as the Type 96 light machine gun, but the Type 99 had a mono-pod at the stock and a flash-hider at the muzzle which was screwed onto a threaded portion of the barrel. The gun was also known for its recoil. It also served as a light anti-aircraft gun occasionally during the war. It had a counter next to the magazine that told the shooter how many rounds were left before they needed to reload.
