Kijiro
Nambu was the designer of the Nambu
pistols. He was a General
in the Imperial
Japanese Army who also developed the Type
38 Heavy Machine Gun and Type
11 Light Machine Gun. In 1904, he developed the first model of the Nambu
pistol. Though it was not introduced into the IJA, the Nambu pistol was
produced by private enterprise and it was introduced by IJN in 1915. According
to Japanese data in Wiki,this pistol was not really designed by Nambu. The real
Nambu pistol is another design which is also similar to the Luger P-08: due to
misidentification by Americans, Japanese also call this pistol a Nambu type-14
post-war. |
