Designed as a replacement for the problem-ridden Type 11 machine gun, the Japanese Type 96 provided a much-needed upgrade to the outdated hopper-fed design of the Type 11. Loosely based on the designs of captured Czech ZB vz.26 rifles, the Type 96 went into production in 1936 and served the Japanese Imperial Army until their defeat in 1945.
