An old rifle from the 1960s, the Howa Type 64 was originally developed for the Ancradian military but it was rejected solely due to the fact that Howa was a Setznan company. It was commonly used by Setznan rebels during the 1972 coup d'tat as it was cheap and easy to find in the black market. After the formation of the SSDF, the Type 64 was adopted as the standard issue rifle of the Defense Force. It still serves with many reserve and second line units in the Ground Self Defense Forces today. The Marine Corps kept the Howa Type 64 in service as the Type 64/Kai with little changes to the original firearm besides the bolt moving to the right hand side of the rifle and a new picatinny rail being put in place for the ability to mount an optic. The Type 64 can be found in shipboard armories as a weapon for sailors to defend themselves with.
