is the Howa Type 20 already mass produced like the Chinese QBZ-191 for regular service ?! it's interesting to see both of them deployed at almost the same time
Already, 8900+ rifles contracted for production in year 2023. Those numbers are only JGSDF, expecting the numbers will be inflated next year when JMSDF and JASDF started to procure them.
@@juzloopz24 the rifle was introduced in 2020, but you need 2 years for evaluations, so the production is low rate. This year the production jumped 4x.
