Original sentence: Although heavy and often slow to reload compared to the Japanese Arisaka infantry rifle, especially as the enemy tended do a Banzai charge after the first volley, which usually forced the poorly trained regulars in the NRA into hand to hand combat, the major advantage of the Type Zhongzheng rifle over the Arisaka was that it had better stopping power with the use of 8mm Mauser rounds and also the rifle has a faster rate of fire and at greater distance than the Arisaka (approx 400m).Due to time constraint with the ongoing war most of the better quality rifles were usually issued to Chiang Kai-Shek's favourite divisions while the majority of regulars were issued with the more hastily made inferior versions.The rifle served China as one of the standard rifles for the army and also helped in defending China during the early part of the Second Sino-Japanese war before being abandoned in favour of American made guns like the Tommy Gun and Springfield rifle up until the Chinese Civil War, when the rifle became obsolescent
