Necro'ing the thread because: wow. Just wow.

What's even more hilarious, above and beyond the fact that apparently the guntana is real, is that if we can believe the blurry placard, this isn't some sort of ad-hoc field repair job of a sword using a Type 94, which frankly probably would have made a better sword hilt than a sidearm. It's not a Type 14 either.

That's the rarer Type B "Baby" Nambu. According to wikipedia, those were only available to officers, who had to purchase them themselves through the officer store. Whoever owned this magnificent abortion of a weapon had to buy the gun special, and then get someone to make it the hilt of his sword. I mean... can you even still use it as a gun?

This is the most ridiculous thing I've seen all week and I follow politics.
