Daitōjin Ground Forces Equipment Catalogue
Daitō:
DAITŌJIN GROUND FORCES EQUIPMENT CATALOGUE Daitō has long had a thriving small arms industry, producing some of the most common rifles and pistols to grace Mundus. Like with its aerospace industry, it is made up of numerous companies, all vying for government contracts, which has bred a culture of competition to provide the finest weapons and systems for the Imperial Military. This can be seen with recent programs such as the Type 81 NGSW program and older pieces of equipment, such as the AMBT program of the 1970s. This catalogue will include small arms and vehicles produced in Daitō, with an emphasis on that which is currently in service within the Imperial Daitōjin Army, although some equipment will either be purely for export or be retired but still maintained in large enough quantity for export. In those cases, it will be noted under the cost section of each piece of equipment.

T80 RifleRoleAssault RifleManufacturerYamanoWeight5.4 kgLength851 mmFiring Range600 mOther StuffFires 6.8×51mm SSKCM polymer-cased cartridges
Features a recoil mitigation system with reciprocating barrel
Designed with modularity in mind
Features an integrated suppressor
Can be equipped with a 10-, 20-, 40-, or 100-round magazineCost$8,000BackgroundThe culmination of the JBB Program, the Yamano T80 Assault Rifle, alongside the T80 Machine Gun, is among the newest weapons to enter service within the Imperial Fusanese Armed Forces. Its producer, Yamano, stated that its design ethos was to, quote, "grant the Fusanese solider an unfair advantage in any combat situation", while the producer of its SSKCM cartridges, Shin no Sokudo, claimed that it viewed the program as more of a munitions program, with its polymer-cased cartridges marking a "paradigm shift" the likes of which hadn't been seen since the turn of the 20th century. The T80 Assault Rifle is notable for being the first bullpup rifle introduced into Fusanese service, aiming to replace the T51 which was introduced in 1994. The SSKCM cartridge, for its part, is intended to be backwards-compatible with any number of other weapons, requiring only a change of barrel in order to make use of it. Reportedly, the decision to switch to a 6.8mm round was made as the Imperial Fusanese Army wanted a rifle capable of counteracting modern body armor such as that which would be utilized by a near-peer adversary.

T51 RifleRoleAssault RifleManufacturerYamakawaWeight3.4 kgLength840 mmFiring Range500 mOther StuffChambered in 5.56×45mm Fusanese or 6.8×51mm SSKCM
30-round detachable box magazine
100-round C-Mag drum magazineCost$2,300BackgroundA replacement for the venerable T23, the T51 Rifle was designed with modularity in mind. In a way, it inspired the admittedly troubled T80 Rifle which succeeded it, albeit the latter being far less modular than its predecessor. This modularity allows for quick repairs, barrel length changes, and even caliber changes in the field. Along with its basic components, the T23 was planned to replace the cancelled XM14 OICW, including many features including identical accessory mounts. The T23 family has numerous variants, including the following:
- T51 Compact Carbine: 229 mm barrel, PDW configuration, collapsing stock or buttcap; muzzle velocity 720 m/s
- T51 Carbine with M270 grenade launcher: 317 mm barrel; muzzle velocity 815 m/s
- Automatic rifle: 508 mm barrel; muzzle velocity 916 m/s
- Designated marksman rifle: 508 mm barrel, integrated folding bipod, 4X sight, 30/100-round magazine; muzzle velocity 916 m/s
- Light machine gun: heavy 508 mm barrel with integrated folding bipod, rate of fire from 600-750 rounds/min
The T51 family is, in the eyes of many within the Ministry of War, likely to remain in service for many years, perhaps even resuming full-rate production as difficulties with procurement continue to hamper the T80 family.

T19 "New Akizuki"
RoleStandard Service PistolManufacturerAkizukiWeight960 gLength198 mmFiring Range50 mOther StuffChambered in 9×19mm Parabellum
Features a 8-round detachable box magazineCost$550BackgroundA replacement for the venerable Akizuki family of pistols as well as the numerous attempts during the Greater East Ardia War to replace it, the T19 "New Akizuki" was designed by Haruto Akizuki, the great grandson of General Kijirō Akizuki, the designer of the Type A, Type B, and Type 59 "Akizuki" pistols, in 1957. The pistol served alongside its predecessors throughout the early phases of the war in Kalasin before eventually fully replacing them in all but ceremonial roles. While it is presently in the process of being replaced, the T19 has served its nation—and others—with distinction, earning its place in history.

T74 PCWRoleStandard Service PistolManufacturerAkizukiWeight753 gLength104 mmFiring Range92 mOther Stuff---------Cost$820BackgroundThe T74 PCW has been billed as a replacement for the aging T19. Originally produced by Hagihara prior to its acquisition by Akizuki in 2019, the "PCW" (Personal Combat Weapon) is a striker-fired pistol that features a Picatinny rail, ambidextrous controls, a hammer forged polygonal barrel, and changeable back and side straps which make the pistol grip customizable for any shooter's hand, coming with up to 27 options of grip configuration. The PCW, also referred to as the SAP919 (Semi-Automatic Pistol, 9×19mm) in a civilian context, features eight separate variants designed for different uses, ranging from the standard service pistol used across the Imperial Fusanese Armed Forces to the SAP919LE designed for use in Law Enforcement and all the way to the numerous variants designed for possession by civilians, both for personal defense and for use in sport.
