flip the cover up, place the strips in, flip the cover back down which is weighted and sprung loaded to keep pressure on the rounds when the clips are used up. and when you've fired all 30 rounds start again.

easier than mucking around loading magazines up before a battle and unlike magazine fed guns this won't run out of magazines with ammunition in

Hello all,
All I have at the moment is an Arisaka Type 99 Short Rifle made by the Turiimatsu Factory of the Nagoya Arsenal, Series 3. I have a bayonet marked with the Nagoya symbal and next to the Nagoya emblem is a Triangle. That is all I have as far as original items other than a canteen found in a cave on Okinawa by someone who was stationed there a few years ago in the AF. Interesting piece of history.
Later,
