>>I should note at this point that the Type 14 Nambu is not the Nambu pistol that is famously so unsafely designed that it will occasionally shoot its owner out of pure spite. That's the Type 94. (Seriously, it has an external trigger mechanism, so you can fire it by pressing a spot on the side of the gun that has nothing evident to do with the trigger. This would occasionally happen to, for instance, airmen or tank crewmen who were daft enough to take the flagrant and provocative action of loading it, holstering it, and then sitting down.) A properly functioning Type 14 is not dangerous to its operator under normal conditions.<<
