ww2dbaseThe Type 99 gas-operated light machine guns entered trial service with the Japanese Army in 1939, and mass production of these weapons began in Apr 1942. Their design was essentially the same as the Type 96 light machine guns, with the only major difference being that the Type 96 design used 6.5-mm rounds while the Type 99 design used 7.7-mm rounds. Most of the Type 99 light machine guns were deployed with 2.5 power optical sights, which were powerful enough to allow these weapons to be used as sniper rifles. When situation demanded, Type 99 light machine guns were also used as light anti-aircraft guns.
