Gas Blow Back replica of Howa Type 89 rifle
Manufactured by Tokyo Marui, this rifle features an aluminium receiver and plastic furniture. Enhanced with a Marui ZET system, it allows for a functional bolt stop to be locked when the last round is fired and a three-round burst mode. Its sights are fully adjustable, and the integrated bipod is easily detachable. Additionally, field stripping is realistic.
Type 89 History:
The U.S. military switched from the M14 to the M16 in the Vietnam War due to the 5.56×45mm round’s increased rate of fire, light weight, and lower recoil compared to the 7.62×51mm round. This shortened the infantryman’s effective range, but 5.56×45mm (SS109) became the standard NATO round. Japan's Defense Agency then began work on their next-gen assault rifle, largely handled by Howa (who already had the AR-180 license). Limited numbers were issued to the JSDF for field testing, then formal development of the HR-16 (HR1604) began. The HR-15, HR-10, HR-11, and HR-13 were also developed by '89.
