[it] Type 93 (mitragliatrice pesante)

La Type 93 è stata una mitragliatrice pesante (Kusan-shiki jū-kikanjū in lingua giapponese)[1] in calibro 13,2 mm, adoperata dalla marina imperiale giapponese e in minor misura dall'esercito a partire dal 1933 circa. Si trattava di una copia modificata della Hotchkiss Mle 1929 e divenne l'arma contraerea leggera standard per tutte le navi da guerra nipponiche; fu impiegata in impianti singoli, binati e anche quadrinati. Durante la seconda guerra mondiale fu adoperata pure contro la fanteria, i blindati leggeri e i mezzi da sbarco avversari, sia dall'esercito che dalle forze di terra della marina.
