==Lore==
The Type 99 Rifle was a Japanese made bolt-action rifle designed to replace the older Type 38 Rifle, but the older rifle was still use in reserve and rear troops.
The origin of the Type 99 Rifle started during the Sino-Japanese war where the standard 6.5mm cartridge used in the Type 38 Rifle was thought to be not sufficient for combat, causing the 7,7 x 58mm Arisaka round to be developedArisaka Type 99 Rifle : Japanese Military Forces - Australian War Memorial.
Such powerful round necessitated a new rifle to be made specifically for use with said round which eventually became the Type 99 Rifle. Over the course of the war the production quality of the Type 99 Rifles and Japanese firearms in general started to wain because of US aerial bombardment of Japanese industry and lack of materials.The Arisaka Rifle: Weapons for the Imperial Japanese Army Way of War - Jon Diamond, Warfare History Network, December 2014

The Type 99 Arisaka Sniper is a variant of the Type 99 Arisaka rifle with a telescopic sight.
==Lore==
In 1941, the Japanese military decided to replace its Type 97 rifle with a scoped variant of the newly produced Type 99 Rifle. During testing it was found that the accuracy difference (When using a scope) was minimal between the Long and Short version of the Rifle, because of this the short version of the Type 99 Arisaka was chosen. Interestingly, the sniper variant was not made by hand picking the most accurate rifle produced and the scope cannot be zeroed in the field.Type 99 Arisaka Sniper Rifles - Ian McCollum, Forgotten Weapons, Youtube, 29 November 2016. The sniper variant was produced during 1942 and was fitted with either a 2.5x or 4x Tokia scope, no official designation was given to the variant.
