Empire of Airsoft brings the S&T Type 100 SMG to a game to see how it fares. The S&T T100 is an airsoft replica of the rare and historically significant Japanese Type 100/40 submachine gun from World War II. This weapon, inspired by the German MP18, saw two iterations: the earlier Type 100/40 with a bipod and bayonet lug, and the later Type 100/44, boasting enhanced reliability and a faster rate of fire.
Arms Magazine provides an insightful glimpse into the prototype of the S&T Type 100 AEG. This high-quality, full metal construction is complemented by a real wood fixed stock, accurately reflecting the real-life Type 100. The design includes a rear battery compartment located conveniently in the stock. A neatly tucked away folding bipod adds to its convenience. The gun features a fixed front sight and an adjustable rear sight for precision.
It's been over 10 years now since we last read about the Craft Apple Works (CAW) Type 100 Model Gun was talked about. We were hoping for an airsof version of this SMG made for the Japanese Paratroopers in World War II but it's really more of a collector's item and it's not even listed at the CAW website anymore. Based on the Bergman MP28 this model is equipped with a bipod and bayonet lug and saw action in battles in Southeast Asia.
