It's kinda sad, really. The 74 is based on the AK-47,a gun that's famous for its relaibility. It's embarassing when it's descendant can't even handle a little dirt.
Kind of makes you wonder about that reputation, doesn't it? The design flaw in question is obviously common to ALL AK-pattern weapons.

Glocks have a reputation for exploding. They really don't. Neither do Arisakas. Nambu pistols were surprisingly accurate and reliable. The Chauchat worked reasonably well in the original 7mm Lebel. Not all reputations are as true as you'd think.
nah, nambu's reputation for being terribly inaccurate was earned

it was the best of the japanese empire's arsenal of poor quality pistols.

the arisaka on the other hand is another story. their receivers were among the thickest out of any other rifle used in the war. definitely no reason for them to explode
Several members of /k/ who claimed to have shot one (one who posted timestamped pictures of his personal Nambu) are adamant that the gun is quite accurate and reasonably reliable, it just fires an incredibly shitty round, and is impossible to field-strip. Maybe some of the late-war Nambus were shitty... late-war Arisakas were ******** grenades.

Worst part of Nambus was that little firing thing they did if you dropped it or squeezed it just right. Especially since you consider the fact that they were designed for tank crews.

That's something else. Not THE Nambu that we are talking about.

The pistol. You're talking about the Type 94, we're talking about the Type 14.
