Where To Find A Replica Japanese Type 11 Machine Gun?
Updated: August 10th, 2013
The director of the Sidecar Museum in Italy emailed me asking if I knew where he could find a replica Japanese Type 11 machine gun to mount on a Japanese World War II military sidecar that he is restoring. Does anyone know where he might obtain one? I could not find any airsoft replicas for this gun. My only suggestion would be to get one of those talented Japanese replica gun makers to build a custom model.
I founded TFB in 2007 and over 10 years worked tirelessly, with the help of my team, to build it up into the largest gun blog online. I retired as Editor in Chief in 2017. During my decade at TFB I was fortunate to work with the most amazing talented writers and genuinely good people!

You may want to try contacting Teri Bryant at NambuWorld.com. She knows more about Nambus and other Japanese firearms than any other single person I can think of. Just as importantly, she reads, writes and speaks fluent Japanese and is deeply vested in Japanese history. For those of you who may be interested, you can look up "Interview with Teri from NambuWorld.com" on www.forgottenweapons.com, where Ian McCollum, FW webmaster ( and sometime contributor to TFB ), has a very informative discussion with her.
I am guessing that Teri may be able, at the very least, to point the Director of the Sidecar Museum in Italy in the right direction, if not more.
